Spec. 4 Jerome M. McFadden
has found that his assignment
with the 2nd Armd. Div. Band
will help his career as a pro
fessional musician.
Prior to entering the Army
McFadden was a professional
organist who had played with
such big-name performers as
the Temptations Gladys Knight
and the Pips Bobby Bland

McFadden began playing the

The movie is entertaining large

see her more in control of the
character she is portraying than
in her previous roles.
The script is well written but
it lacks Simon's familiar bla
tant wit. True there are enough
funny lines and comical situa
tions for amusement but the
entire film lacks that tightness
usually associated with Simon's
comedy. And again the film

Dennis and Lemmon are good
enough but again look very
tired. Indeed Lemmon gives the
impression of a frightened
claustrophobic tomcat trying to
fight his way out of a paper
bag.
musicians and a "very polished
group." He also said that he
was very impressed with Gladys
Knight and the Pips. He said
that Gladys Knight was a "very
exciting person to work with."
Because of the unusual
circumstances of touring musi
cians often have many varied
experiences. McFadden recalled
one instance when he was
playing at The Door in Reno.
As the curtain came up to
introduce the group the organ
was caught in the curtain which
lifted it up and dropped it off
Although the instrument was
heavily damaged he said that
he was able to play enough
to get by.
McFadden entered the Army
in the spring of 1968 and after
his initial training he was sent
to the 1st Logistical Command
in Qui Nhon Vietnam.
In the years that he spent
in Vietnam he played about
three nights a week at a nearby
officer's club.
After his tour of duty in Viet
nam he was assigned to the
1st Armd. Div. at Ft. Hood
to work with the signal bat
talion. After several months he
auditioned to play in the 2nd
Armd. Div. Band.
He was accepted and now
plays the organ for the dance
band and in the marching band
he plays the glockenspiel an
instrument that produces bell
like tones when hit with a small
hammer.
When he was accepted for
the bandMcFadden decided that
he would like to have his own
organ so he had his full-size
Hammond organ shipped to Ft.
Hood from Sacramento.
In his off-duty hours McFad
den plays in a group called
the Brothers Seven which plays
three to four nights weekly in
Killeen. This group also plays
every Wednesday night at the
Enlisted Men's Open Mess.
After he is separated from
the military McFadden plans
to continue as a professional
organist and attend Sacramento
City College.

The story of a beautiful girl's lifetime
Some may look upon cooking
as something less than an art
form but they would get a
real argument on that matter
from Spec. 5 Douglas Davis.
Davis who cooks for the 1st
Bn. 16th Arty. was recently
selected as the 2nd Armd. Div.'s
Best Cook of the Quarter and
Davis feels his profession re
quires every bit of the creativity
usually associated with the fine
arts.
"I like handling food" Davis
said. "You can be genuinely
creative in preparing meals. I
feel just like an artist creating
a painting. You can do the same
thing with food if you like cook
ing."
Davis who is 27 has been
an Army cook for four years
but his desire to cook goes back
much farther.
"Cooking is something that
has always fascinated me" he
said. "Even when I was a boy
I used to hang around my
mother's kitchen."
Before coming in the service
Davis worked as an apprentice
to a French chef in his
hometown of Philadelphia.
'I felt it was the duty of
every American male to serve
in the armed forces" Davis
said of his decision to enlist.
"I also welcomed the
opportunity for the additional
training."
Davis has been at Ft. Hood
since April 13. He previously
served with the 193rd Lt. Inf.
Bde. in Panama and was
chosen as the Bde.'s Best Cook
of the Quarter.

"It was a real challenge to
cook in a combat zone" Davis
said. "You had much less equip

had in garrison and you never
knew what was going to hap
pen."
He recalled several instances
when the meal preparation was
abruptly interrupted by enemy
activity.
"I remember one morning
when I was breakfast cook."
Davis said. "We were just set
