Fred has composed 3 pieces for concert band that recognize and honor the participants of Pearl Harbor, The Battle of the Bulge and Viet Nam. Having played piano and the reed instruments in concert and jazz bands over the years as a hobby, he decided to write something that would honor these wars that he had lived through and participated in. Fred is a long-standing member of BOBA Chapters 23 and 32.

Bravo, Fred, and thank you for your service!
