Mystery Alumni Type Corps?

I was in Chicago for a business meeting on Tuesday (April 6). Quick trip--flew in Monday late and left early Wednesday. Stayed at Marriott near Cumberland and the Kennedy Expressway. I had dinner at Morretti's Pizza in Edison Park and on my way there I passed the Park Ridge VFW Post on Higgins and Canfield at about 7pm. There were a couple of guys playing drums in front (Higgins Rd) of the building and as I passed the parking lot after turning on to Canfield there were about 20 bugles practicing. They were older men.

I assume that was probably the Cavalier's alumni corps as the Park Ridge Post used to be the Cavalier's sponsor when they were the Park Ridge Cavaliers.

Always try to get to Moretti's when I'm in Chicago. We have some decent pizza places in San Francisco Bay Area but not quite the same as Moretti's. Edison Park is also a fantastic place for resturants.

What did you do in the Corps? Baritone

What years were you a Corps member? Cadets 1959 through 1961 Imperials 1962 through 1966
