Plank, Tony    1981
Trombone - Marching Band, Concert Band and Jazz Band

It is good to see a few names here from the old days. Sadly, I have pretty much lost touch with most of my High School friends. I was drawn here by news of Doug Hendersonâs recent passing. I remember him fondly and what a great service he paid to the Renegade Regiment in its earliest days.

After graduation from Union I attended the University of Tulsa where I played trombone in the Marching Band and Jazz ensemble and Euphonium in the Wind Ensemble. After graduation with a degree in Computer Science, in 1984 I was married to another Renegade Regiment alumni, Tracey Green (Trumpet, class of 1983). I also attended Law School at the University of Tulsa graduating with a JD is 1994, though I still continue as a computer professional.

Upon my wifeâs graduation from the University of Tulsa with a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology we moved to Philadelphia for three years for her to pursue her life-long goal of engaging in Cancer Research. Due to the terminal illness of her Mother, we again relocated to Dallas where we continue to reside. We have a Son, Joshua, Age 6.

In order to vent my spleen and engage in my passion of writing, I currently maintain a blogsite called the Disenfranchised Curmudgeon (http://tonyplank.blogspot.com/ ) that you are welcome to visit and engage in the vigorous discourse there on topic of politics, religion and the American condition. My work there is the closest I can come to the exhilaration I experienced on the field of dreams that we collectively shared.

So a warm hello to all of my friends with whom I have so thoughtlessly lost contact. My memories of High School would be but a sterile and miserable remembrance were it not for the fantastic times I shared with you all. The times spent under the direction of talented musicians such as Bill Stone, Ray Bell, Doug Henderson, and Dale Barnett (who was at that time my private instructor and not yet at Union) are among some of my best memories of my life.

I would also add that it is such a pleasure to know that those who have followed after us not only met the dreams of excellence we aspired to back then, but have gone on to far exceed those humble beginnings. Keep up the good work and may God Bless each of you richly!

Lucas-Kornegay, Angela    1982
Snare...Union's first female Snare!

After graduating from Union in 1982, I attended O.U. and was a member of the Pride percussion section. After graduating from O.U. in 1986 I began working for the Department of Defense and just returned to the States after a seven and a half year stay in Germany. I am married and have a 7 month old son. Over the years I have contunued to perform for community band and Churches. I also teach youth instrumental music for our new Church in Crestview Florida. My years in the Union music program gave me a life-long love for music and music education. I thank Russ Mckinnon (percussion instructor in the 80's) for is mentorship. I'm very proud of all of you kids for keeping the music program burning bright. Keep up the great work.

York, Julie  1982
Percussion

Julie York FamilyI was only active in the RR Percussion section for 1 year -1981 - the year of Whitewater and the year Russ McKinnon led us to playing as close to perfection as a group of kids could get! That was the most intense and amazing experience of my life! The next year - my Senior year - I worked on the yearbook and focused on Choir, Drama, Tulsa Co. 4-H and church activities. I also played Viola in the Tulsa Youth Symphony.  I met my husband at Oklahoma State in 1984 and we have 2 boys and 1 girl (the oldest is at OSU now), and we have custody of a 6 year old who was my student last year.  I'm currently a Kindergarten teacher in Gilmer, Texas. My son's HS band marches military style very well, but it's just not the same as the excitement corps style brings. I talk alot about HS right now, so it was fun to see a few familiar names and everyone's comments on here...

I'm married with four great kids. I'm on active duty as a Chief Warrant Officer (CW3) U.S. Army Aviator, stationed at Ft Rucker, AL, serving as a helicopter instructor pilot teaching combat skills and terrain flight/navigation using night vision goggles. I'm also an FAA certificated A&P mechanic, commercial pilot and flight instructor in light single/twin engine airplanes. B.S. Professional Aeronautics, Embry-Riddle, and working on Mech Engineering at Bama in preparation for U.S. Navy Test Pilot School. I still play the same sax at Hillcrest Baptist Church, Enterprise, AL. Every now and then I whip out some licks with the same sticks I used back when we were the best!

Gallatin, Bryan    1983
Trombone

I will never forget the Fall of 1980, the first year of the Renegade Regiment. We thought we had something here, but we just couldn't get any respect. No one understood what we were doing, but they thought we did it well (whatever it was).

At OBA we knew we were in the finals, but our history to that point was not stellar. We were massed and the announcer was caling out the scores, "In Seventh place with a score of XX.X ---- UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU - kon (I know it's Yukon...I just did that for effect). I died and was revived all within a few seconds. I never jumped so high as when the announcer said, "And in second place with a score of XX.X ---- Broken Arrow". That was the first of many and a tradition of ecellence was born.

After graduating I went to OSU and marched there for a few years. Looking for something a little more challenging than college band I marched with the 27th Lancers and aged out in 1986. Union had prepped me well for DCI, but the reality of the demands at that level can only be experienced.

The Fall of '86 I worked with the Stillware HS Band. We took a program that had been respectable and put them in the OBA finals! (OK, they came in last place in the finals, but at least they made it).

I now live just outside of Houston, TX and am Director of Operations for a large insurance company. I have a beautiful wife and 3 great kids (ages 10, 2, and 6 months). Life is good; and the memories and stories of those glory days will last a lifetime.

Married (Lt Col) Rob Provost in Sep 93. No kids, two dogs. Been living in Hawaii for three years but this summer we move to Maryland, outside D.C. Will be a Lieutenant Colonel on 1 Jul 05.

I found this site while searching for Wes Cartwright's mailing address since our last two Christmas cards went to the wrong address. Sad to hear Dale Barnett retired but I had no idea he stayed for 22 years! That must have been some party.

This site brought back some really fond memories - three band directors in three years, three
styles, the genesis of the Union Winterguard, Wes and Alan. The Renegade Regiment Guard was the best thing in
high school. Period. Dot. Exclamation Point!

Martin-Proctor, Rhonda    1984
Flute & Piccolo

I graduated with my BS from The University of Tulsa (88) and MBA (91) from The University of Central Oklahoma. I left Tulsa in '91 and have been expanding my horizons since. I have lived in 4 states, 7 cities in the past 12 years and traveled extensively throughout the US, Canada and Europe. Now I am enjoying a brief hiatus from the choas of the business world and raising my 2 kids in our current location of Raleigh, NC.

Although I am a University Professor in business, I have continued to teach flute, piccolo and piano for fun. I haven't been back to visit Dale Barnett in a while, but my class was the first to break him in [so to speak]. What fun days and experiences. Apparently he's still doing great with the band and that makes me proud to be an alumni of the Regiment. The love of music and marching is still with me :)

01/08 - Recently moved to a new 'burb (Wake Forest, NC). We absolutely love the area. I'm still on a sabatical from the business world and enjoying the chaotic schedule my kids keeping me on these days. My husband is still pushing himself on the race track (motorcycle roadrace), so I wear many hats these days. I'd love to hear from you!

OK, this is actually Tony's sister Michelle putting his bio out here for him. I don't have his correct email with me, but I will get it and update the bio later. For now, I put my email address if you want to get ahold of Tony, just email me.

Tony lives in Atlanta, GA with his wife and daughter who is almost 10. He graduated from OU after high school, then went on to Texas A&M for his Master's in Finance. He is currently a VP at a bank in Atlanta. He doesn't get home much, but he is doing well. He goes by his first name now, James, trying to be adult and all I guess. :) I still call him Tony.

I never have a reason to visit Tulsa anymore...since my parents moved back in 1990 and have retired down in southern Florida! But it's great to be able to check in on things through this site. I graduated from Union University in Jackson, Tennessee in 1991 with a BA in Elementary Education. My husband (who I met in college) has a BA in psychology and a MA in marriage and family counseling. (Yes, I married a shrink! †) We have two BEAUTIFUL, SMART kids....Gavin will be in the 7th grade, and Becka will be in the 2nd. We've moved all over the country....Tennessee, Alabama, Texas.... but have settled down in the great little town of Olive Branch, Mississippi. I teach at the local elementary school and help out with the high school guards in the area. I don't keep in touch with many from Union, but do still rely heavily on Wes's wisdom and guidance....even after all of these years.

I feel strange writing on this site since I was only there for one year. Being a part of winterguard 1987 was one of the best times of my life. (I still have my mannequin) My older brother, Steve, was on the bass drum line. We performed together in 86.
I graduated from Texas A&M in '93 and have been teaching Algebra I for 10 years. My husband,Steven, and I have been married since '95. We have one son, Sam, and another on the way.
Steven and I moved to Nashville, TN to pursue country music in '97. We now live in Dallas where I am still teaching Algebra and he is getting his Doctorate in English at University of North Texas.

Lohman-Rodriguez, Maggie   1989
Clarinet

Wow! It is so neat that this site was created! Well you may remember me from my mother's famous handpainted sweatshirts....remember Opus playing various instruments and Alf with percussion? Well I am now living in a suburb of Houston and I am teaching Theatre.

I graduated from NEO A&M in 91 with my Associates and went on to NSU and took my time (having too much fun) and finally graduated in 97 with my Bachelor of Arts in Eduation in Speech Communications and Theatre with a vocal music minor. After graduating I worked my last summer in Oklahoma at NSU doing techincal theatre for "River City Players", a summer musical theatre show in Tahlequah and then moved directly out of the dorms into my first apartment in Houston. I have taught both high school and middle school and I love it. Currently I am teaching Speech/Debate/Broadcasting and Theatre Arts at Fort Settlement Middle School in Sugar Land, TX. It's an absolutely awesome school!!! If you're curious check out our district website, click on campuses and find FSMS. Find my name under courses and you can go to my little place on the web and see what I do...I have to say I'm a bit proud of my students and what I do.

About my personal life, I have been married for going on 6 years now, and wouldn't you know it, my husband is a band director. I met the love of my life Rene at Royal High School, the very first school where I taught. We have two beautiful children Rene "Thomas" 2 1/2 and Isabel Lucia 5 months. Thomas is named after my late father who some of you may remember as the bus captain extrodinaire. Bless his soul, he passed away in May of 02 from congestive heart failure. My mom still lives in Tulsa and we visit often. I always try to catch up on the old days, wondering how the band is doing. For those of you who check back often I would love to catch up with some of you. Take care!

Stephens, Kit   1989
Saxophone

Ths is not actually kit, if you are reading about him you probably already knew that he passed away during his time in the renegade regiment. This is his little sister Alexis Stephens.

I just wanted to write and say thank you to everyone because if you knew my brother then you would know how much the regiment meant to him. I also was wondering if anyone had any stories or comments about him that they would like to share with me. I was only 4 when he died and would love to know more about him from some of his friends and peers. If you have any comments for me please email me with them. I would love to hear whatever you have to say!! thank you so much

Thatcher-Edwards, Julia   1989
French Horn

Still in Tulsa, now working for Tulsa Public Schools in Human Resources. (If any of you want to move back to Tulsa and have Oklahoma certification.... Talk to me!!!) So I still get to use my education - even though I'm definitely certain now that teaching is NOT for me!

Married for almost 11 years to Chad Edwards - A wonderful man whom I have just about driven as insane as I am! We have one son, Michael, who is 9 1/2 now and goes to Country Lane Elementary school in Broken Arrow. I'm still involved with the scouts and the PTA (I just chaired the school carnival - Thank GOD it's only once per year!!) We were also football parents this year. Those kids look hillarious running around out there with these giant heads, giant shoulders, and little, skinny legs!

I'm still learning more about learning disabilities, specifically dyslexia and ADHD/ADD, and how enormous and far-reaching their effects can be in learning. It's amazing stuff. Check it out some time! You'll be shocked at how pervasive one LD can be throughout a life time of learning.
