"I spent many thurs eves watching horn rehearsals in the B.S. shoolyard in 1961. Some of these guys were gone in '62 but my best is:
Chuck Metzger to right of Fr. Garner; Jack Boyko to left with Joe Day behind; Michael Swangan 4th over; Ronald Eng (Glenn''s older bro.) with horned rimmed glasses to front; Jimmy Raia w/same type glasses at rear; Mike O''Keefe behind Whitey (the blonde); Rudis, Brian Fallon and Tommy Schefter front row w/elbow extended nudging Guy Earle to left; Dan Prachar next w/suspenders; Dick Furlong in frt of him; then Danny Murphy and Harry Kastner (joined at the hip as usual);Fredddie Ruth to far lft; Richie Scevola 4th to rt in back; then yes it''s Demko back there too (hiding his beer); Jerry Dalton w/a tree growing out of his head; baby Phil Pinto in front row right; 2 over from him is Phil''s cousin Humbert Ricci (deceased in 1963) finally, smack in the middle of everyone is Saint Rocco Nardelli of '63 traps fame."
