Margaret M. Garey says
The group outside the Avalon Theater is gathered around listening to the “Easton Marching Band”. My uncle, Edward H. Bowman, both lead and instructed these “boys”. They had just received their white hats. Green jackets came later after sufficient funds were available. My uncle was forced to discontinue this band when so many of his “boys” went into military service during the Korean War.
