Comments:

After leaving the Field band, I was married and got my degrees in MUSIC ED and MMED from VCU. I taught middle and high school band and chorus in Virginia and North Carolina. I received my commission as a warrant officer band director in the 80th Division Reserve Band in Richmond, Va. I spent the remainder of my military career in the North Carolina National Guard as E-8 top. I retired from my church music directing, school band directing and the military in January, 1999. My wife of 47 years, Helen, died after we moved to Colorado. I have remarried and enjoy performing on French Horn and Tuba with local musical organizations. I currently live in Columbia, SC.
