|
|
Baton twirling is my daily exercise |
|
|
I could take my baton with me. I did not like to have to stay in the house to sit on a bench to practice the piano. Also during the summer months when we were living at the lake there was no piano. |

Pearl Harbor was bombed December 7, 1941
~~ summer 1942 ~~
I was eleven years old Ready to start 5th grade |
|
|
|
In 1939, my father George W. Buckel who was a gage designer at General Motors had already been assigned the responsible to set tool and die military specifications for war production. General Motors is the home of the War Production Board for the United States for World War Two. |

In the back of the house on Scatterfield Road. My father bought the new baton at the Conn Horn factory in Elkart, Indiana. |

Big Event
This is my first circle skirt.
It had a red lining thatwould showwhen I did certain motions with the baton.
Yes.
The skirt was store bought.
So was that knit top. |

The family moved from Scatterfield Road, Anderson, Indiana in 1944. We moved to 3950 Grand Street, Englewood, Colorado. I started in the nineth grade at the Englewood Junior Senior High School . |
|
|
|
My first and last satin uniform.
I made it myself. I was allowed to wear it for parades and football games. I was not allowed to wear it for official band contests.
Making the uniform required me to buy the trim for the front and the shoulders and the satin and put everything together. The skirt is pleated. |

My official drum major uniform was all wool and designed for a man, the same as the uniforms for the marching band.
I never wore the uniform drum major hat. It was much too heavy for my head and neck. |

The purpose of this web site is to provide photographs for the Life and Learning of GeorgAnna Mae Buckel. The uniqueness of her Life and Learning supports the uniqueness of her research for plasma physics, the structure of liquid water, and amino acide crystal grown at body temperature. Her five Scholarly Papers for Finding the Right Path in the Wonderful World of Pythagoras are for the Minkowski SpaceTime mathematics of Nature where the living Time of Nature replaces the linear time of Newtonian mechanics. The Pythagorean belief in Life for the Monotheism of Life is the foundation for the Math and Physics of Nature where the uniqueness for the Spiritual and the biological quality of Life are One. |
