My mystery novel, Boreal Dreams, is now available on Amazon.com. Check it out.
This was sent to me by my brother Jim, class of 65. It was in OHHS 65 News Notes:
My name Is Ron Roland, and I live in Dickinson Texas. I attended Oxon Hill High School. I am a member of the Class of 1960. I have an old friend down the road from me, that is in an assisted living home. We meet up every week or two and talk old times and listen to music. His name is Bill Johnson and he used to be our band director. He is away from his old stomping grounds and his health isn't that good and his memories are failing at times. He spends most of his days in his room listening to his Boze Radio and CD player. He talks of the old days and the old band which he says was his best. He plays CD's that he has kept and those that were given to him by friends, such as Lora McDonald with the Capitol Woodwind Quintet. He tells stories of giving music lessons to some of the old students and charging at times as little as $1.00 for a lesson. He tells me he didn't want to make everyone a musician, but wanted everyone to enjoy music. That was his goal.
Ray Wockley and I grew up together as neighbors, Ray sent me the Class of 59 Website. I read your [Tom May’s in the ‘59 Website] great story of life growing up in Oxon Hill. I also walked down that hill to the High School with my coronet in hand for band practice with Mr. Johnson, and as you said in your story, what a special person he was [is]. I copied the story and gave it to Bill to read. He read it over and over and thanked me so much for giving it to him. It meant a lot to him. He talked of you and others in the band. So I sent him other stories that I copied from your Website, like David Dalgren and Lora McDonald. Susan, Bill’s daughter which visits him pretty much every day tells me David keeps in touch with her. Bill has told me a few times he hasn't heard from too many people but would very much like to. His memory is dead on in some areas, but is lacking in others and he knows this. We talk about it. He tells me its his age, 84. Although he told me he was born in 1923. The numbers don't add up but I don’t really care. So I am asking you to please get in touch with him, and if you already have and he forgot, please forgive him. Since Nancy passed away a few months ago and his knee replacements going bad, leaving him in a wheelchair, and in an area where he doesn't really know that many people, he's a bit depressed and would love to hear from people that meant something in his life. He gave me permission to give out his address and phone number to his students. If you could please ask others to write or give him a call anytime. This would make him so happy. Thank you so much.
