William Kastler found two more cards
that had the free space covered.
The accordion player died of cancer many years back, Bill Kastler is next, The drummer lives in Florida, the
last two are my brother-in-law Greg, he wasn't my brother-in-law at the time though & was Buddy's best
friend in high school. Kenny The guy on the right end is Moony. When we were in eight grade, he was told to
do a chin up and when he was struggling to pull himself up, one of the other guys said that with his long
skinny arms, long skinny legs and, little round body...... he looked like a 'MOONMAN' hanging there. The
nickname stuck and eventually became Moony. He is the only one who still plays his guitar.

mustache
Bill coaches T-Ball during the
week, he also introduced the
"Orange Cone" to the sport, sure
to be a suggested training aid in
future rule books for T-Ball.
Keep up the good work Bill.
What a great team......
