YESTERYEARS
75 YEARS AGO: Frank C. Haldeman, manager of the Merced American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps, sent out a telegram announcing the corps had won first place in marching and playing at a state competition. The Merced corps defeated Pittsburgh’s corps, the 1939 champions, to receive the honor. The competition was a part of the state legion convention in San Diego and was held in Balboa Park.
