Jay Smith Groupies

In previous posts I have mentioned Jay Smith and how we enjoy his music. Last night we went to a neighboring community to attend their Commodores Ball, dine and dance to Jay. Here is Jay playing one of the guitars he makes for himself. Notice that he plays left handed.

And here are three of the groupies, Gus and Marilyn Lopes and of course Carol.

I even got to be in one of the pictures when we found someone to take a picture of our whole group.

 

We will be going to dance to his music later this month at the Englewood Elks. We just don't seem to get tired of his style!!

Sad News

I recently received information that one of my fraternity brothers passed away on March 17. Frank Kelliher and I and went through all four years together as fraternity brothers and as classmates in the Navy ROTC. The last opportunity I had to see him was at our 50th class reunion in 1957. Here is a picture of Frank with some of my other brothers.

 












Carol and I had our motor home at the reunion and parked in the Sage Avenue parking lot (behind the Sage dorms). One afternoon we had our own Phi Kappa reunion at the motor home. It was a good time and we will miss Frank at the future reunions.
