The Rockland, Maine History web site, sponsored by Tim Sullivan, posted this picture of the Drum Corp this am. I thought I'd share it with all my fellow Drum Corps pals. I was a senior in 1959 and was not a member of the corps at this time I don't believe. I had joined the color guard squad and marched in Washington, DC as a sword carrier in 1958 for Eisenhower's second Inaguration parade. So I may have spent at least part of 1959 with the corps. This picture was taken on the steps of St. Bernard's Church on Park Street. Does anyone know who the little guy is in front? It could be Ralph Clark, our director's son. Thanks for the picture, Tim.
The Port o' Rockland Junior Drum and Bugle Corps received the state VFW championship trophy Saturday. Presenting the cup to Roland Ames, drillmaster, is Robert Stenger, commander of Stone-Scott-Watson post, VFW, of Friendship. The Friendship post sponsored the Rockland group at the State VFW convention in Bangor. They will also sponsor the corps at the VFW national convention in Los Angeles, Calif., later this month.
