Subject: Glad to be here!! Author: Tim Johnson [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:38:39 11/10/03 Mon Hello Everyone..just found out about this site yesterday and I've been spending the last few hours checking it out and reminiscing. Talk about the floodgates opening up..wow, such great memories have been brought back, especially after seeing pics of Mr Kuentz and Mr Briggs!! I was a member of the Ram Band from 78-82 and had the best time playing my trumpet and being a part of that organization(and both trumpets are in the attic along with old sheet music and an old JMHS mute..sorry Mr Kuentz!!) Memories of State Fairs, contests in Florida, UIL, football games, bus trips, Houston Oilers halftime, Battle of Flowers Fiesta parade in 79 (which we never got to march in because of the chaos due to the sniper)and on and on. I missed performing in the Rose Bowl parade by a couple of years but I remember watching "my band" on TV that day and loved hearing the stories from those that were there and especially from Mr Kuentz. Anyway, thanks for a nice trip down memory lane and my very best to those I recognized in the old pics and in some earlier messages..especially to those that helped to make the freshmen of 78-79 fit right in..Laurie Hoyt, Ron Hoyt, Lora Dean, Lisa Dean, Mike Dardeman, Bubba Bergstrom, Debbie Duncan, etc etc..you may not remember but I sure do!

Author: Ed Luevano [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 00:59:03 03/11/04 Thu Tim, My younger sister came upon this sight and a friend of mine at work (Sandra Baker Kincaid) told me about the reunion. I'm not sure if you remember, but I was in the band at the same time (78-82) and have some of the same memories. I perused through the pictures and saw a few who were around when I was in the band but I was from a slighty younger generation of Bandies (Notice I said slightly...after all I will be 40 this year). I played Clarinet. Some may remember me as Marcie's (Marcial's) younger brother. Anyway, it was nice to take a look back. Ciao! Ed Luevano [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Is that too weird, or what? We've been married 15 years and have four kids -- I guess I really like the guy, huh? Good to read your post and send a reply sometime when you get the chance! We live about 15 from Joe Langford and see him and his wife and family all the time. We just saw Mark Dean, Rick Flores, and Richard Ruiz at Mark Dean's 40th birthday party. Had a great time and got this website address from Laura Dean. Hope to hear back from you! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
