T.J. Turgeon writes: I was fortunate enough to be taught by Mr. Grantham. I can't say his classes were always fun, he made you work. Baker's band was up against some stiff competition city wide and he knew we had to work hard to be heard.
He started the tradition of attending the Gator Bowl and brought in the Dandelions. He was very much interested in being entertaining.
He was even supportive of me playing football and marching with the band at half time. Of course that might have been because we only had two tuba players.
I am sorry I missed him at the reunions. He had a very positive effect on my life, musically and spiritually.
