Glenn’s Trumpet Notes

“Count your blessings, name them one by one,” goes the hymn written by Johnson Oatman, Jr. 121 years ago in 1897. Well, here’s one of mine: I got to sound the bugle call, “To the Color,” for the 7th straight year at Pacific Little League Day at Lynndale Park in Lynnwood on 21 April. I used my Getzen bugle, of course…love it! Five kids from Girl Scout Troops 44193 and 40919, along three Boy Scouts and one Cub Scout, formed the Color Guard.
