I was one of the early members during 1957-1959.  It seems that Tom Stewart is the only original survivor of this band.  I was a bass guitar player along with Tom Stewart (rhythm guitar) and John Sargent (drums), and Dan Scharpenberg (guitar).  “Sarge” was the original drummer for The Rockers. Dan played in 58 and 59.

Wayne Freeman, who died at the age of 19, was a rare human being, and definitely one of a kind.  He was a really good Hot Rod Builder.  He had a 34 Ford 5 window coupe, and a 34 Dodge 2 door Sedan.  He loved cars and music and was just beginning a productive life.  We still miss him.
