His (lack of) hobbies include “sleeping, driving to and from work, eating lunch at my desk, reading magazines about the sound industry, trying to make my computer work, and finding Management Level applicants who can spell and write sentences.” What has he been doing these past 25 years?

Provided sound systems for bands, clubs, theatres; and recorded bands, commercials, demos, etc. Business grew and grew. Bought out other sound companies.

Brian at the helm, Ray Burghardt played. Upt to three cats now. Annual woodstock Pary every August is a blast. The occasional Little Jimmy & the Starlites reunion concerts keep the juices flowing.” Memories of Delbarton: The sense that you were in the presence of greatness watching and listening to Ray play “Classical Gas” on the piano.

How much more we were prepared for college than most everybody else was in my freshman year Monkey Helmet – Sorry Frank Pep Rally – Senior Year Getting my driver’s license Every girl I asked to dance Looking forward to our 25th Reunion very much. My biggest regret all these years is the time I didn’t spend keeping in touch with my friends from High School and College. Better late than never! I hope everybody who can make it on October 7th will. But…I don’t want to be disappointed. What if Jack Anderson became a junk bond salesman? What if Yves became Euro-trash? What if Ray Burghardt performed on an electric piano? What if Dennis Valvano became a Latte drinking, mousse wearing, yuppie scum? Oh no, not my classmates. God forbid, what if Mike Mullen, John Macdonald, Rich Schubach, and Sean Hanifin all became lawyers? (Oops, they did).”
