I'm not much for posting vanity stuff, but it would be a blessing if my FRiends here in the canteen would take a moment to say a prayer for Franz Grissom, the former leader and musical arranger for my old unit, the (now defunct) US Navy Steel Band, back in its glory days of the 60's.

I never served with him, but his reputation, his legend, his influence and legacy carried on long after his duty with the band ended and I was but a Seaman Apprentice making my bones.

According to Dave Grissom, Chief Grissom is very sick in Southern Hills Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada (702-880-2100, #436B). Dave says Franz would love to hear from his friends and old comrades and I plan to call just as an admirer and follower in his trail blazing footsteps.

Thanks for your time.
