[DM12]

It was recently announced that John Weigand, former glassmen member, had
passed away. The information posted regarding where to send condolences and
the date he actually passed away was incorrect. the following information
is correct:

Condolences can be sent to John's parents, David and Cindy Weigand at:

1312 Prelude
Ft. Worth, TX. 76134-4423

John actually passed away on Feb. 15th. He died of complications from a
brain tumor. John's father noted that John spent several weeks in the
hospital before passing. And he listened to Glassmen cd's the entire time.
John's mother and father are finding comfort in hearing old drum corps
stories from when John was in Glassmen and looking at old pictures. if
anyone has any they'd like to send along, they would be most grateful.
