Alaskan State Director Gene Horner can be seen sounding Taps at mid-day on 12-17-03. Looking closely
at the picture you can see the lead pipe and bell have the same coloration. That tells me, without looking at
the front page of the site, that Gene plays a M2003Elite.   Gene has handed his horn to just about every
military bandsmen in the State of Alaska to test!  He's keeping Tom Getzen and I posted on how the horn
performs in ultra-cold conditions!   Ada Boy Gene!!  Thanks for your dedication to the Alaskan Veterans!
If he stands there much longer he'll be the first bugling snowman in history!
Here's Saltford England's Pete Latham.  
Pete and I have traded email many a time!
As you can see Pete takes his Bugling very
seriously.   Sure is nice knowing Pete's over
there honoring the memory of American
soldiers with a Getzen AHFT!!!
Loved getting a bunch of British calls from Pete
as well!  "Sunset" is definitely my favorite!!
Thanks again Pete!!

Keith Rush from

Taps at VFW Post
#5563 Memorial
Day Program
Here is Pete with SGT. Frank E. Ratesic at Omaha Beach on
June 10th!  Frank is 91 years old and brought his daughter
and grand daughter along for support.  Pete reports that no
militery Bugler was present and that Taps was never officially
sounded during the D-Day Cerimony there.  Pete vowed to
play but had to wait for security to loosen after the official
program so he could properly Honor our fallen heros!  
Thanks Pete! It's so good to know your looking out for the
memory of our boys there!
