Weekend Wonderings: A Week Later

What is it about what we had together that prompts - even compels - us to reconnect?

Our time marching with the Saints, for many of us, represented our only corps membership experience. Some enriched our ranks having marched other places, and others moved on to other corps (
either junior or senior) after leaving.

And then, there's the story about the guy from Blessed Sac who was convinced he'd make our mellophone line as a walk-on ...

I digress.

There's something about our shared experiences as Saints that, 41 years after we started and 31 years after we last fielded a corps, still pulls us together in ways corps today just don't. It even evokes an incredibly deep Guest Book posting from the person who's arguably the instructor most closely identified with our summer successes.

Whatever it is, I'm glad for what it is, and I'm glad you continue to stop by Scribblings for a visit. I'm as excited to see how many of you pop in to check out what's going on here as you might be when there's a new posting.

Thanks for being part of my family. See you at the next Reunion, if not before.

All for now - corpsdially yours from jo!
