Robin,
Dad's nickname was "Big Daddy". A name that he acquired from his "crossing over" from being a teacher-friend-parent figure to many of his students. This nickname was also his CB callsign (rememember those days) when they were popular.

Another phrase we used to say after every practice, game, band gathering was this: Drum Major: "Band dismissed!"
Band: "Get It!"

Cool!

I do (sadly) remember the CB days; but my CB was a life-saver on one cross-country trip I made. I still have vivid memories of some of the people I talked to at 3:00 in the morning.

Robin, you just reminded me of a bit o' CB/music trivia that I only recently learned -- that Chip Davis (Mannheim Steamroller) co-wrote "Convoy" (argh!) which helped kickstart the whole CB radio craze. He was working at an ad agency writing jingles, and the song/character grew out of a popular ad he created. Therefore, in a roundabout way, you can thank him for your fond CB memories, if not for that song.......

I have to agree that Big Daddy is the way to go for Mr. Kuentz. We even gave him a hat that said that. I will never forget how he challenged us to be the best we could yet, still treated us with respect. Susan
