| Welcome to "WHAT'S NEW". This section features the photos that are new to this website before I post them to their proper year page in the various photo sections. Due to the large number of photo pages in the various sections, I have chosen this method to provide the frequent visitor to this website one location where one can go to see all that is new. That way one doesn't have to hunt through all of the different photo pages of this website every time they visit here to find what's new. Copyright 2010. All Rights Reserved. |

| As always, I'm always looking for new photos, items and articles to post here. Please email me if you have anything that you would like to contribute to this website. I'd like to thank all those that have already contributed to this website!!! It is people like you sharing what you have that have made this website as great and as interesting as it has become. NOTE: The reason that the "What's New" section isn't updated very often anymore is because over the last few years I haven't been receiving much in the way of photos and other materials to post. If you live in Wisconsin or Illinois, I can come to your house and scan photos as my equipment is very portable. Please consider sharing your photos. My email is webmaster@racinekiltiealumni.org BELOW: The pictures below were emailed to me recently by 1960s Kiltie Alumni Bill Osborn. He stated that these photos were taken by his mother and are posted here with his permission. Thanks for sharing them with us!!! |

ABOVE: The two men in the photograph above are Royal Schaefer, left, and Al Asplund, right.
This photo was take during the 1927 American Legion Convention in Paris, France, in front of
the Legion Hut. What is most interesting about this photograph is that Royal Schaefer, left,
became the Kilties first corps director and Al Asplund, right, was the Kilties first drum instructor.
Both were members of the Racine American Legion Post 76 Drum and Bugle Corps and World
War I veterans.
BELOW: This is another photograph of Royal Schaefer, a bugler with the Racine American
Legion Post 76 Drum and Bugle Corps, who became the Kilties first corps director when the
Kilties were organized in the October, 1934. His son, Royal William Schaefer, was a charter
member of the Kilties who would later become a bugle instructor for the Kilties teaching the
beginning buglers. One of Royal Schaefer's other sons would later join the Kilties too. This
photograph was taken either in the fall of 1922 or sometime during 1923.
