I recently joined a great group called "RomVets"--a group of romance writers who are all Veterans of the Armed Forces. Between meeting with these ladies at the RWA National Conference and doing a lot of Army research for my curren WIP, I'm experiencing a lot of nostalgia for my days with the Continental Army Band (now known as the TRADOC Band)

I scanned a few of my photos from those days and added a couple from the Band website. So--this is me, making the world safe for John Phillip Sousa marches!

Some of the photos did not scan very well because they were done with the linen look that was intended to keep them from smudging. Who knew then that we would be digitizing these photos today?
