Following is thanks from Bernie …

 

To all of the members of the O.L.P.H. Ridgemen Alumni Drum & Bugle Corps, especially Bobby S., Joan F., Mark M., Mike C., and all the other committee members I would like to Thank All of You for the Honorary Quartermasters Award given to me and all the other nominees at our 2nd annual reunion. It was a honor to see all of you again and I look forward to all the reunions to come.

 

  I would also like to say that I really enjoyed all the years of service that I spent with the Drum Corp, doing whatever was needed to make things work. Like most big families we had our ups and downs over the years, but I must say we had more good times, than bad together. Most of all, the thing I cherish the most was the great friends I made to share my life with over my lifetime. I wouldn't trade one day of it. It was one of the best times of my life. If the corps was still together marching and competing today like back in old days, I be right there still helping and working with all of you.

 

  I want to thank all of you again and say. It was and is a pleasure to be a part of this great organization. I look forward to seeing and talking to all of you in the near future.

 

          Yours Truly, Love & Peace
