He led indoor guards up and down the eastern seaboard, and was the guard instructor at Temple University and the University of Delaware. He was “tough love” personified. He passed away on March 21, 2009, at the age of 46 – fifteen years ago, this Friday. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/southofboston-enterprise/name/donald-jenness-obituary?id=24323281   TRIO: Interview with JAMES SHETLER • https://www.linkedin.com/in/jmsshetler/ • https://sites.google.com/view/jsvoiceover/home • https://www.youtube.com/@jamesshetler8150 • linktree?   DOGFIGHT: Internet Rabbit Hole of the Week: United States Marine Band’s Digital Rehearsal Hall A video playlist on The Marine Band’s YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2cXE2sU3q4&list=PLA7no0L9zTk6QWWAcyD3CG2MT-VruU7lX   CODA Our first vox-populi response to an audience call-to-action question: what got you into, and kept you in, band?
