of 1953.

with the band for a while.

The Ramblers played for many dances
which people enjoyed. They also played for
quite a few benefit dances for people who
were unfortunate.

The Ramblers last dance was June 14, 1958
with John Morris on the saxaphone. Bob
Morris with his guitar, Jerry Simpson at the
piano and Jack Carlson on the drums.

Many memories and friendships were
