THE RUBBER DUCKY SEEN SITTING HAPPILY ON ONE OF THE PIECES OF LUGGAGE IS A GIFT FROM THE KIDS, DUE TO MY HAVING HAD SO MANY "RAIN DAYS". I HAVE DECIDED TO HAVE IT RIDE RIGHT WHERE HE IS. HIS NAME IS WILSON....... DON'T ASK


THIS IS PART OF THE COLONIAL PARKWAY GETWEEN YORKTOWN AND WILLIAMSBURG. VERY SERENE.



MELISSA (XENA) AND HER THREE "DADS" AS SHE CALLS US. WHAT AN HONOR TO BE ASKED TO DO THIS. ALL THREE OF US GAVE HER AWAY. XENA - THE WARRIOR PRINCESS - SO NAMED BECAUSE SHE IS FEARLESS IN HER FIFING..... HMMMM DID THAT START AT THE FIRST FREEZER JAM SO MANY YEARS AGO? SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE FROM HER CORPS TO ATTEND, AND I MADE HER GET OUT ON STAGE AND PERFORM A FIFE SOLO. EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS RELUCTANT, SHE DID IT, AND GOT THE LARGEST APPLAUSE OF ANY CORPS THAT PERFORMED.



LONNIE, ONE OF XENA'S "DAD'S" WHO GAVE HER AWAY.


MELISSA'S DAUGHTER, MELISSA AND JOHN. MELISSA WAS WITH PLYMOUTH FIFE AND DRUM CORPS
WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER, AND JOHN WAS WITH THE ALTON FIFE AND DRUM CORPS. THEY ARE
NOW BOTH PERFORMING WITH THE OLD GUARD FIFE AND DRUM CORPS


JOHN AND MELISSA ACCOMPANY THE OTHER OLD GUARD FIFERS IN THE PERFORMANCE OF A FIFE SOLO.
