You forgot to mention 'The Ed Sullivan Show' probably the bands first tv appearance. That's probably as old as the band. My Uncle Ray was great ! As much as Finbar was the face of the band...Uncle Ray was it's heart--He was their diplomat. In May the first of Rays grandchildren was wed at Fordham in the Bronx and a grand time was had by all. Ray never got the chance to see his grandchildren,but being his nephew you would be hard pressed to believe some part of him was not there.

I came accross your guest book and was pleased to see a picture of my uncle, Ray McConville (the bass drummer pictured in the intro). Ray, along with Peirce Meagher and Finbar Devine was one of the principle founders of the band. Among the things that Ray was able to accomplish was to convince Mayor John V. Lindsay (a big fan of the band) to give the members time off 'on the arm' to travel to and play in Ireland. Ray has long since passed away but I am sure is smiling and proud at the success the band has had over the years. Good luck and congratulations to all members past and present on the 50th Anniversary. twheeler@courts.state.ny.us

Having enjoyed and played with Tom on numerous events myself over the past 30 years and having been a Pipe student of his 30 years ago, I know he would have been proud of the excellent job the band did for him at his funeral. He'll be missed not only by members of the NY City Police Pipe Band but also by the numerous civilian Pipers & Drummers who had the privilege of not only playing with him but who also enjoyed his good humor and pleasant nature. Tom was one in a million. Your tribute slide show of Tommy is superb. To see him & another legend of the Police Band, DM Finbar Devine, together, was too much for words. Tommy was, and will always be, one of NY's FINEST. We will miss him dearly. PO Bill Fitzgibbon - Port Authority Police of NY/NJ DM - Bergen Irish Pipe Band June 20, 2006

Hi, I am a serving Detective Officer of 21 years service with Bedfordshire Police in England. This is one of the smallest Police Forces in the UK. Unlike Scotland very few of the English police forces have pipe bands. I am currently lead tip with a civilian pipe band locally. We take part in local and national charity events and have taken part in the recent 'pipefest' parades in Edinburgh and New York and Paris in aid of Marie Curie and Gilda's cancer care. During the Tartan Day celebrations in NYC 2002 I was amazed at the large number of Emergency Service bands that were on parade and the differing patches and insignia. I was honoured enough to be given a couple whilst there. This set me thinking and I would like to start a collection and gather together as many 'Police' Pipe band patches as possible from across the World. The object would be two-fold a) On a personal level, to continue to fuel my interest in Police memorabilia/pipe bands b) If this takes off I could auction/raffle the collection in the future in aid of a good cause. https://www.livegroup.co.uk/policememorial/SSL/index2.php i have gathered together, a list of Police Pipe Bands across the globe and was wondering if you would be interested in sending me 2 of your bands patches. (if you are interested I will forward my work place mailing address). I am able to trade my own forces patch if required. I do realise this may seem a little 'cheeky', for want of a better word, but I hope it raises peoples interest and hopefully lead to a worthwhile sum being raised. I would be delighted to hear from you and would welcome any thoughts or suggestions you may have. It has already been suggested that the August 2005 Edinburgh event may be a suitable target for completion and auction of the collection Yours Fraternally Crawford W. GILLAN

Every time I hear a bag pipe song, I think of you guys. Your music touches me and everyone who hears it. I am always reminded of your first trip to the Valley and the songs that you played for for a fellow Irishman at a small tavern called The Body and the Bog. Your music brought tears to the tavern owner as it reminded him of his homeland. You are wonderful musicians, but more importantly, you are wonderful people. I am truly grateful for having met you and am proud to call you guys friends. Thanks Dave, Jimmy, John, Jake, Brendan and the rest of the guys I have met. Hope to see you soon.

Hello - I am the daughter of Chief Dennis Ryan, RET NYPD and the wife of Sgt. Mike O'Loughlin of Cresskill PD. Mikey is also a member of the Police Pipes and Drums of Bergen County. On March 30, 2003, Cresskill, New Jersey Police Officer Michael O'Loughlin, age 36, had emergency surgery to remove an unknown blockage from his small intestine. During the surgical procedure, it was determined that the blockage was a tumor that had spread to his lymph nodes and many vital organs. The pathology reports indicate that Mikey has the most advanced stage of Colon Cancer. Mikey is scheduled to enter a new program of treatment that has been established in Boston and will be administered at Englewood Hospital, NJ. The cost for his medical treatment, some of which will be experimental will be astronomical. Additionally, together with family and many friends, Mikey and Mary are planning ahead to ensure that their two sons, Bryan and Terry, will have the financial means to continue their education in the future. Mikey recently underwent a 10 hour operation in DC and just returned home. There is a fundraiser tomorrow in Bergenfield NY - Please call 201-384-5757 or email pba180dance@aol.com or check out the website at www.members.cox.net/mikeyocancerfund for more information.

The Emerald Society came to perform at our 90th annual Rodeo parade. During the parade I was in awe to the crowds response to their being there. Everyone stood up, placed hats over their hearts, and cheered. Thanks to the Emerald Society I cried tears of American pride that day. We also toured Yosemite National Park (saw wine trees on the way), fished Shaver Lake (bigfoot sighting), and laughed as we sang Johnny Cash, (woof, woof). I Love You Guys!!!! Email me :-)

I was in Washington, D.C. for the St. Patrick's Day parade in 2000. Seeing the pipers reminded me of the great Emerald Socity Band of New York City. They are all still in my heart especially Det.

To all my fellow bandsmen, I would be remiss if I didn't let you know how much all the members of the NYPD Bomb Squad appreciated your tremendous performance last Friday at the Centennial Celebration of the Bomb Squad at the Hilton Hotel. The thousand or so people in attendance, many from out of town were in awe of the band and its performance. Thank you again.
