The Bridge

The Elmore County Band may be gone, but if former members of the band and members of the Elmore County Historical Society and Museum have anything to do with it, it will not be forgotten. For more information about the band’s history, and what AKAA Associate Member Truman Welch and others are doing to preserve that history, see this story from the Montgomery Advertiser.

Charlie Kinzer needs photos from the 90’s era Auburn Knights for inclusion in a commemorative program for the upcoming 75^th anniversary reunion:

“We need a formal group photo, like a publicity shot, if someone has one, and then several (5-6) candid shots as well. They could be sent to me at 1101 Fourth Avenue, Farmville, VA 23901, and I promise I’ll keep track of them and return them to the sender when we’re done. Or, if you can scan stuff, they’d need to be at 400 dpi with a target size of 8×10″ in a TIFF file. Those files are pretty big (15MB or more), so they’re cumbersome to e-mail. Mailing a CD with photos on it would make sense, though. It may just be easiest to mail hard copies of the photos.”
