Bruce's Story

After graduation from JFK (1970) joined the USAF and spent 4 years travling the Country and a tour overseas in Japan, made numerous friends and had a great time. In 1974 was discharged and met my wife of 48 years, Dawn, we have three daughters, started working for Alling and Cory Paper and Packaging Distribution Company, Buffalo Division, later to be bought by International Paper and name changed to Xpedx. Worked for 32 years until an jnjury forced me to take an early retirement. Joined "D" Company - Buffalo City Guard - Gordon Highlanders, a Color Guard and Bag Pipe Band as a drummer in 1975, became a Drum Sergeant, Drum Major and Commanding Officer of the Company before retiring as CO because of injuries at work. Was promoted to Colonel in Chief, and still remain as active as I can playing drums at concerts and dances and standstill performances. Also I can be seen at almost every parade riding my electric scouter and taking pictures of the Company. I have been a long time member of the Clan Henderson Scottish Society of America and in 2007 was presented with the "Order of the Chief Award" for contributions to the Clan a...Expand for more
nd Scottish Heritage. In conjuction with the Clan we have travled all around the East attending Scottish Games and Festivals. Dawn and I have four grandchildren, two girls and two boys, and all three of our daughter live within a mile of us so we spend a lot of time with them and their family. .I work with leather in my spare time, making items for Pipe Bands and Celtic wear, belts, pouches, etc. I spend most of my time trying to stay as active as my injuries will allow. December 2013 resumed Command of "D" Company - Buffalo City Guard - Gordon Highlanders after the Commanding Officer stepped down. Although still limited with back issues the Company gave their full support to my returning as Commanding Officer. Re-retired after three years and stayed on as Procurement Officer. On August 20, 2023 I lost my wife to cancer. She fought this for the past 11 years beating it three times and finally giving in to it on the forth time. Trying to stay active with the Gordon's and the Frank L Gierlach American Legion Post 1320, Sloan, NY. Where I can be found hanging out with my brothers in arms, Paul Radomski and Jerry Kozlowski.
