FROM KATHY PITTMAN GASPARD (2/17/03): In above photo, Arthur Jackson is in middle and Rudy Massingale is at bottom. They both are still performimg as members of The Scamps. Arthur plays sax and just celebrated his 83rd birthday. Rudy started as sax player for the group and is now the keyboard player.
Thanks, Kath!
