I am writing the History of Messick, would like a couple of pages about these singers and photos for the book. Can you help out?

Hi Jane! A book sounds great! I could help you find info on the internet. If you use someone's pictures I believe you'd need to ask permission. You can right click on any picture you find and save the image and this can go right into your book if you're writing it on a computer. I'm no expert at this but it could be done. Let me know what I can do.

Reid McCoy was the best trumpet player, drum major and his professional music career has been outstanding.
