As I recall the summer of 1967 we got a music teacher, he was a school band master. That summer he taught guitar lessons, I could already play and knew most of the chords. I went anyway, the hospital let him buy maybe 8 4 string Stella harmony guitars. I recall it was a popular class. I don't think anyone who was in this class kept up with playing, as they only got to play on these guitars about 2 times a week, I had the only guitar on hall-18, and when I went to hall-20 1 other kid had an old f-hole guitar.

ronl do you know why you were the only one allowed to have a guitar in Hall 18? Did any of the others have a mucical instrument? I was just wondering since they were so strict on the rules.

I had a guitar because I had the passion to play. No other kids had musical instruments. Some had radios and record players.

Ron: I was wondering if you remembered a Wayne Saxton from your younger days at TSCH. They say he worked on the kids floors and use to cut the boys hair.. Just wondering if you knew that name or not..

I don't know about Ron, but the name is very familiar to me, but I really can't place him. I just sent a message to a Wayne Saxton. We'll see if this is the person.

Mike I know Wayne Saxton personally and just found out this weekend that he had worked there for all those years. If you havent contacted the right Wayne let me know and I'm sure I could get you his conact info.

Wayne Saxton
We would have called him Mr. Wayne or Mr. Saxton, and I do not recall anyone with that name., Mr. Curtice, Mr. Norman or Mr. Cornell, use to cut our hair, (Mr. Cornell was just out of high school by 1 or 2 years, and we use to call him Mr. Jim sometimes) there was this other guy, I cannot remember his name but he had a black belt in karate.
