Richard Enger - first NP drum major!

We received an e-mail from the daughter of Richard Enger, the first drum major of the Norwood Park Drum and Bugle Corps (now deceased). We have a picture of him with the corps as drum major, and we think it was 1932, but can't prove it. The certified date is 1934 as his being DM. We believe he was DM from 1932-34 (at least). Anyway, his daughter replied to our e-mail, thanking her for giving information.

Note that alum Wayne Mounsey did talk with Richard Enger once or twice before his death.

Thank you so much for having read my submission to your web site. 

Dad did have a wonderful early photo of the Drum & Bugle Corps (he was always immensely proud of have been a member), but Mother tells me that you may already have a copy.  (Note: this photo is included in the Corps History Book at the NP Historical Society)

Kind regards,
Margaret Trenchard-Smith
