Elmer Fillis gave me some
help I d ing this group years ago but I’ve lost his notes and again forgotten
some of them. We had two Boyd Seelys one a year ahead of me and one a year
behind. Little Boyd was a year behind. Of the two Andersons the clarinet
player was the youngest brother of Reese Anderson who may have been teaching in
your day. The sax player was son of Andy Anderson and they had left town by
your day.
By my count and guess ,six
of this group are sixth graders, six are fifth graders and the rest forth or
maybe even third graders. And Marsden got “music” out of all of us>!
