"Yes. Billy was the front man for the 8th Corps band, New Beginning. He is on facebook, and I do believe he visits here occasionally."

"ME-RRI-LEE!!! Good to hear from you. You are as beautiful as ever. The years have been very kind to you, my dear (or maybe the secret is selling real estate). As for me, I look like an orphaned buffalo who was mugged in a National Park. Good to hear…"

"Oh John, that happened so many years ago (1994). It's all water under the bridge. I make some decent bucks working from my computer at home, and have SS Disability. I'm doing alright.

Wow, what an interesting time we've had, right? Those are some beautiful kids all around on your slide show. You have definitely been blessed in that arena, my friend. Glad to see you're doing well and enjoying life.

Don't worry, I still…"

Just wanted to stop by and say hello.
Apopka Florida 'eh? I lived in Gainesville on and off for about five years. Don't think we would have run into each other...LOL!

"I remember Cathy. She was great. I also remember her dad playing @ Kenyon Hall. I think it was a Saturday night. Some 6th & 8th Corps guys backed him up. Hmm...that was a long time ago...I'm not sure if this is a valid memory or if a piece of Window…"

"Thank you, John.

Holey Moley I'm 56!!!

Ooh "Take Five"...nice. Joe Morello kicks ass.
Have you ever seen him do this drum solo?
I saw him do it live way back when and it was amazing.
There's a few interesting clips of it on You Tube, one from 1964…"

"Thank you Billy.

As much as I like to down-play the 3rd of August for reasons of sanity and vanity, I will always accept a sincere and honest "good wishes" from a friend.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

  • Hi Vini,
    God Bless!! I am sorry to say I have not seen or had any communication with Maryann. I did see John for a short few minutes a month or so before he died. Evon Priddy Purcell may have an idea of how to help you. She is on this site. She was 6 Corps. I do hope you find someone who can help.

  • Thanks for being so sweet (as always).
  • Hey Vini,
    I just got my digital camera and only have a few pictures, but i put one up of my sisters and me from the holidays, Joe and I, and an awful one of my kids. I'll try to get better ones on soon.
    I Love you,
    C
  • Hello again wonderful Vini! Thanks for getting back to me. I too love the ocean BIG time but I thought Kansas was the ocean state? No just kidding! I love Jones beach and Robert Moses. We also like to stay in RI but I honestly like Long Island beaches a bit more. Maybe you will make a move out here and we can connect. GOD loves you Vini.

  • Hi Vini!
    Do you remember me and Denise? I sure remember you! One funny incident was when a group of us were driving in a van back to Emporia and arrived LATE!! Oh my gosh! Craig let us have it up in the Wierwille library.
    We live in the Northeast and it would be a blast if you moved to CT or NY.
    GOD loves you,
    Marion
  • Vini...is this truly you!!!! We have got to talk and catch up. would you email me your phone number? deeannprice@yahoo.com.
  • Maybe you will like this one. Is this some of what you are referring to? I am sure you are familiar with most of these artists. Sorry the audio is out of synch. Must have been uploaded incorrectly by the guy who posted it on You Tube. Enjoy.

  • Hi Vini,
    Thanks for your kind words! I did Cmas vaca in Chicago, it was awesome, I love Chicago. My brother lives there, and my sister/brother own a cottage in Mich., about 1 1/2 hrs from chicago, on Lake Michigan so I go out every summer and vaca there. I am so blessed and encouraged by your life, by everyone's lives and it is strange how I now feel like a part of me that has been missing, is now being made whole. Only those of us who have been through the Corps, understand you, totally. I almost feel like, the people that I know here, don't totally know who I am, they can't. But you guys all know, we have history for sure, we all view life throught different eyes, than the rest of the world.
    Love ya
    Marian
  • Vini - be sure to click on "Comment Back" and your answer back to that person will appear on their page instead of your so they will be sure to see it.

    How to insert am image or picture into these comments? It's easy. First your picture has to be located on a server somewhere like on this NING server. Just upload some photos that you mayu want to share or find the picture you want on a web page somewhere. Then just follow these instructions. "Adding Pictures"

    Here is a picture of a blues guitarist Johnny Winter who I used to listen to a lot when I was young.

  • Well John, you've made a lot of people happy, so I applaud you for your efforts.
    I am a total computer retard, so anything over and above "adding a comment" is a milestone for me.
    I do not know Piluso, but after looking at his profile, it seems I should: like me, he's a creative, nut-job, paisan from New York.
    Re: photos and videos of Emporia:
    If and when I take them, you will be the first to know.
    Significant structural changes at the campus: The leveling of the Married Corps/Way College student residence housing.
    The removal and transfer of all the seats in Kenyon Hall to the newly restored Granada movie house on Commercial.
    I believe you already know that the Wierwille Library has become the National Teacher's Hall Of Fame...http://www.nthf.org/
    And they turned our football field/track into a public walkway and added a memorial headstone honoring the original Emporia College alumni.
    Other than that, if you were standing in front of Kenyon, you'd feel like you were right back in the Corps getting ready for a run.
    Now, let's see if I can send you a photo...

    well, I guess not.

    How do I add photos to these emails, John?

    Love ya,

    Vini
