James Tamburro
Class of 1964
Army, 3 Years
Hawk missile crewman in Germany (1966-1969). Traveled all over Europe and expanded a 19 year olds knowledge and mind to the history and art of the different cultures and peoples. Saw the Doors, Jimi Hendrix, The Bee Gees, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Procol Harum, Donovan, Frank Zappa, Ronnettes, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie Orch. It was an adventure until the Russians invaded Czechsolavkia late 1968 and we were put on alert-if they would have continued into Germany-that would have meant war. They didn't. Peace.....
