Add the Boll Weavels out of Univ. of Michigan. Had the late Frank Powers 
on Clarinet, John Teachout, Doc Shanahan, others, some gone
some  still with us. I add this because Michigan has been long called 
the "Ivy League School of the Midwest," and if Purdue's Salty Dogs 
count, then an this band should also. (Personally I think Michigan's 
claim is bogus, but then I went to Michigan State along with Joan 
Reynolds of the
Red Rose Jazz Band.)
