Frank, I don't know if you remember me, but I was a bass player and (not-so-good) sousaphone player at Navy Band San Francisco from 1976 to 1980. My name is Marlon Ragsdale and I'd like to check in with you, if you'd care to connect with me. My email address is bassplyr@tds.net

I was in the San Francisco Band from June 1974 through July 1975. I played Trombone and I believe that Gerry Kuhn was still in the band in 1975. He was a trombone player as well.
