    I often remember having talks with Fred during my drum corps days. He always would take a break and listen to us, in between his extraordinary hard work he did for us everywhere we traveled. Thank you for being part of the Defenders family. Fred, you are a wonderful part of my drum corps memories.

    I totally forgot Mr. Livingston, Fred, was a Rockland Auxiliary Police officer. While there may never be another "Fred Alert" (a phrase from back in our drum corps days) there will always be the memories of all he did for us members/kids during my Defenders days. Thanks and R.I.P.
