:I spent three years on Treasure Island as a member of the 12th Naval District Band.From 1957 to 1960. Mr Huddelston was the officer in charge and leader to later be replaced by Mr Bowen who was quite a character as I remember.
I too have many enjoyable memories to fall back on when meloncholy kicks in. Floyd Krick and John Simmons are two of the names that come to mind at the present time. I have a photo of the band from 1960 which was presented to me upon my departure. I later became a member of the U.S. Navy Band in D.C. and retired from the service in 1976.
I would enjoy hearing from or about any of the members from the years that I mentioned previously.
Thanks for the chance to chat.
