Those surviving, to the best of my knowledge, include Vic Mejias (front left), Paul Block (front right) and George Kwain (back right, next to Bill Burke. I wish they could be at the 50th anniversary Grand Encampment this year.

I’m still playing like a little kid.
And in 2011. Looks like I'll have to get another photo with my brother this year!
Here we are in 1980.
Notice the difference in the clothes, in the seventies we knew little about clothing, it has been a huge learning curve.
I love this!!!!
Love it

I'd recognize Fred Dickfoss anywhere and in the middle of whatever is going on.
The 2nd Va. was there somewhere. 😉

The 70s were great times to be a part of such wonderful persons who shared their knowledge and interest in history.
I remember it well.
