Parade Highlight Features Three Generations of Musicians
Three generations of the Raynes Gooch family joined the Dunlap commandery in Yarmouth for St John’s Day. Joseph Raynes, 86, played alto horn with the band while his son John Raynes led. grandsons Warren Raynes and Burton Gooch played drum and clarinet. A Trinity commandery drill team from Augusta led by Frank B. drew attention, resembling a West Point unit. Police and highway officers provided escorts and traffic control along the parade route, with several minor accidents swiftly cleared. A state detective on police duty at High and Center streets was struck in the chest by a turning truck but sustained only bruises.
