Hello,
My name is Mary Ann Zambrano and I am writing you in an effort to find news and photographs of the 1960s marching and color guard group, The Militaires (sp?). As a child, I marched with the group and we practiced at the Fremont Armory weekly. I wish I could remember the names of the marching group’s husband and wife directors but I cannot. I do have many wonderful memories of marching in Fremont parades and traveling throughout the state, competing with other groups. A very exciting time in my life. If you could please direct me to sources that I could continue my research, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
