I was with the Sunrisers from 1959 to 1969, playing Bass Drum until the end
of the 1965 season when I stepped down in order to devote full time as the
corps business manager which I held until the end of the 1969 season when I
had to leave the corps to do a job change and a move from Long Island to
northwest Connecticut. I have followed the corps ever since.
I was inducted into the corps Hall of Fame in 1975.
I am retired since 1989 and living in Gainsville, Florida.
