My name is Frank Weldon, I found this website and my face was in your photo number 7. It was the 1956 band photo. I’m humbled to have found this site after so many years have passed. I’m hoping to find more photos and people through this site that I have lost contact with over the years. Thank you for making this site, it brings back so many memories.
