First, the post script: In case you don't remember the original series of questions from July 30th, use the navigation on the right side of the screen to get back to the August 7th entry (has both questions and answers) for Saints Scribblings. All the questions about our first award were answered EXCEPT "Who has the award?"
Last evening, I received this e-mail from Priscilla French Lyons:
Jo,
OK, I have been away so I haven't been looking at the web page but I do know who took home the CUP!! MY MOTHER!!! My mother's slip (yes, back then women still had dresses on most of the time!) was driving her crazy through the entire parade. Half way around the track she just could not take it anymore, and in front of the grand stand just took it off. Everyone gave her such a hard time that because she did a strip tease, WE WON! They gave her the Cup for having the nerve to "strip in public." Where it is now I have no idea.
So, now we know what happened to the beer stein, sorta!
For those of you who didn't know or don't remember, Jean French was our corps Business Manager for many years. I'm also proud to say that she and Joe were my favorite employers as the owners of Fords Sporting, the source for all things Saints. A bit of Tuesday Trivia fun facts for you -- we actually made all the NJJCGEA championship flags at the store ...
This week's question: What does NJJCGEA stand for, and how many chapters were there back when the Saints were marching? Send your answers to joparente.saintsdrumcorps@gmail.com by Monday evening, August 20th.
All for now -- corpsdially yours from jo!
