Here’s a few more photos from Bruce Daggett. I’ll let him explain.
“I had these pictures from an outing of the Band to help kick off the premier showing of The Happiest Millionaire in Philadelphia.
The movie starred Fred MacMurry and [the premiere] was held at the Boyd Theater located at 1908 Chestnut Street on October 20,1967.
Fred was known to be a sax player and the picture is of him holding my sax. I thought it was a great picture of the Duke.
As a comment, we have so much to be thankful for because of the talents of Mr. Jesse E. Hartman who took all these shots and many many others.
I don’t know if he was on retainer by the school, but Jesse was a professional photographer from Havertown, PA who always was on location at the many Forge events.
Hope you enjoy!
Band Sir!

It is the beginning of August and the agenda is set, the Banquet is in place, transportation to events are booked and only 39 out of 629 bandsmen are missing, 483 have been contacted and unfortunately 109 are deceased. To this point there are 48 paid to attend the Banquet and thirty eight (38) rooms have been reserved. Thirty (30) have been kind enough to contact me with regrets. A few others told me before this all began that the weekend we picked would be a problem due to other commitments. I have also received some wonderful notes and emails encouraging and thanking me for my efforts. Colonel Feltham’s son, Dudley and his wife Sarah and grandson Christopher have accepted our invitation and will be present at the banquet.
