Dave, missed you all these years. Loved your out of tune piano playing before class in front of the stage. We did have a great time. Happy retirement!!! All the best! Ed Long

Glad you joined Eddie! Hope all is going well.

Tom was  great drummer. He wasn't recognized for that as much as he should be. One summer I helped him put a set of headers on a Mustang in his parents basement garage. Once we were done with that but before we mounted the rest of the exhaust system, he started the car with the headers open and it was so loud it shook a mirror off of the wall upstairs. His dad came downstairs grinning. Wow! It was loud and it was a nice car. I saw him for the last time at the 25th reunion. RIP Tom.

Melvin was a great guy. He used to call me Abe Lincoln. When asked why, he would tell me "Because you're so tall and you're so ugly.". :-) HAHAHA!  I always got a kick out of that. He was shot to death in 1974 I think. It is always a bad feeling to know that someone you know was lost in such a way. I'll always remember Melvin and I think of him often and I've told many people the story above about Melvin. RIP friend. You are remembered.
