    HI DONNA

I AM ALBERT L MILLS JR A GRADUATE OF CHS IN 1958. I FIRST MET ROBERT 
PRICE AT SULPHUR 

SPRINGS JUNIOR HIGH. I STARTED IN THE BAND BETWEEN THE 3RD AND 4TH 
GRADE AND

I PLAYED THE TROMBONE. I COMPLETED JUNIOR HIGH AND WENT TO HHS FOR 
OUT SOPHOMORE YEAR 

AS ALL OF US DID.  I DEARLY LOVED MR PRICE I REMEMBER HOW HE WOULD 
GRAB US BY THE TOP

OF OUR SHOULDER AND SQUEEZE UNTIL WE WOULD SIT ON THE GROUND, THEN HE 
WOULD CHEW US 

OUT FOR FOR WHAT EVER. I STILL HAVE A FEW OF MY THINGS FROM CHS. I 
HAVE MY SPORTSMAN SHIP 

INC. JACKET  IT IS TATTERED AND TORN BUT I KEEP IT. THE MOST I AM 
PROUD OF IS THAT I NEVER 

PLAYED IN A BAND THAT DID NOT GET A SUPERIOR RATING IN THE DISTRICT 
OR STATE  JUNIOR HIGH

INCLUDED. MR PRICE WAS KNOWN ALL OVER THE STATE. MY SON PLAYED THE 
TROMBONE AT

JUPITER HIGH BAND , HIS DIRECTOR  KNEW MR PRICE FROM THE FLORIDA 
BANDMASTER 

ASSOCIATION .  

P.S. PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED

AL MILLS JR.
