My home county's sr. citz. monthly magazine, the Golden Gazette, featured me in its August 2025 cover story.
The internet link is here.
The author wanted to feature a married couple from Fairfax Band who have literally been with the band since Day One, when they were both junior high school kids. (They married after college & now they're grandparents.) But that couple was not available for interview, so the Golden Gazette had to settle for me. (I've only been with Fairfax Band 50 years.)
Both my sons played in high school band. One still plays in Fairfax Band. One of my granddaughters is already a band geek in Florida (dum major, concert band, jazz band), & she's only 16.
Band geekdom apparently is a family affair.
Is this a great country or what ?
