"Bud" was very instrumental in my life
thoughout my younger years. He taught me,at the age of 9, to blow the bugle and later on to blow the trumpet, and both instruments I still play eventhough I'm 82 years old. On Monday,at 2:30 in Auburn, I will honor you by playing "TAPS" on my old bugle.
GOD bless you, from Pete Savko
