Hi Evelyn, Nothing but warmest thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery for you. I know what you went through because like you, I had colon issues back in '94 and again in '99 (both times resulting in surgery) but mine was due to pollyps. I had a resection done twice within those five years. I lost my oldest brother Alvin to colon cancer back in '98, just 2 days after Christmas.
God speed to you my new friend. Peggy Yats and Ld Ginger. Class of 1970. Pyates2011@xxxxxxxxx-----Original Message----- From: evelyn weckerly

I was in the hospital twice, the second time for surgery, which established that I did not have cancer; but rather, Crone's disease. Some of my colon was removed, but I could not be put back together then because it was a 50 percent risk of failure. I'm going to be put back together at the end of April; now it's a 5 percent risk of failure. I have not been able to live in my own home since the last week of last June. If all goes well and I have fully regained my strength, I plan to go home sometime this summer. So I will appffeciate the prayers of you all.

Alicia Zaremba McKibben was one of them when she came to MSB as a seventh grader. She and I were roommates that year. By the way, I have not sent anything to this list for about a year. It's a long story and off topic for this subject. I will simply say that I have been very seriously ill and am still in recovery.

He did teach piano tuning because Larry Yanchus took that from him and he also taught chair caning. I had no idea that he also taught band at one time. Must have been before Jack Chard started teaching.

I had Agnes Horton as my teacher. When I switched to snare, Jesse Manley taught me the rudimentals--drum rolls, paradiddles, etc. I can still hear his voice in my mind "Beat, Beat, Bounce-it". In my first year in band, they had Park Herron and Milton Jackson as snare drummers, so I played the bass drum. Kathy Barkley was on timpany and glock and spiel; Nancy Denny was on cymbals. I learned all the percussion antics from Park Herron, and we certainly carried it all forward in the following years. Park used to make runs to Fabs during rehearsals, just like Mark Tonkins did a couple years later. Because I was small-framed then, I did not play bass drum when we marched. I had to pretend to play the cornet and that was pretty embarrassing. Chard didn't want me to miss marching in various events including the Holland Tulip Festival. I don't remember who else from my class was in the band that year, other than I think Terry Posont and I think his brother Larry was there then as well. I know there were over thirty and I think at least three trombonists. I think during 1967 I may have played snare drum at one of the band performances, unbeknownst to Jack Chard. Park switched with me and he played bass drum. God, I laugh at the stuff we used to mostly get away with then. I remember a couple years later when Chard was holding us over to get some extra practice before the festivals. Terry Posont put his trombone away and left. I figured I would do. I quietly put the snare drum in its case, put my coat on and just as I was ready to walk out the backstage door, old Jack caught my by my coat collar. I did get in some trouble at home for that stunt.
