Dear "Big Daddy":

How absolutely wonderful to hear from you, and no, the letter was neither boring nor too long. You could write a book and it wouldn't be boring!

I don't know if you'll ever really know what a profound influence you had on all of us. It doesn't even matter what we ended up choosing to do with our lives, I would wager that nearly every one of us succeeded, and you (and Bob Lewis) had a BIG hand in that.

Every moment of my band experience is etched in my brain and on my heart permanently - the good, the bad, the funny and the sad. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the incredible gift you gave us all!

- Alan

Mr. K, It was great to see your posting today. I must tell you that after I left high school and went to Univ of Houston, I was so disappointed because the Marshall band was so much better than the U of H band. While to other horn players in my section were talking about how great it was to be in such a fine band, I was secretly longing to play in the Marshall band again. I am now the General Manager og the Houston Location of Pender's Music Co. so I still have a band connection. My wife and I hope to make it to the reunion... I look forward to seeing you then!
