March On! ...the history of the

Toronto Optimists Drum & Bugle Corps

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Al Latham

Al Latham

Corps: Scout Band, Opti-Corps

Al belonged to both the 18th and 157th Scout troop and band. In addition to being a marching member, Al served as drum major for two years. In 1956, Al was, once again, Drum Major, this time for Opti-Corps.

He loved camping and he was fun to be around. He worked in the printing trade. Al was a good looking guy with blonde curly hair. He developed cancer and passed away at the age of 21 in 1958 – far to soon!
