We met so many new people and thoroughly enjoyed each and every one. Russell Henry is one of the original Drifters and has been with the Drifters for 50+ years!

Also present were Richard, Chuck and Vernon. I so enjoyed watching them interact with each other. It is obvious they are all old friends who care deeply for one another as they share their memories. Their laughter is infectious!

Barb and Russell's beautiful home was decorated for Christmas, and it looked like a layout of a Southern Living magazine cover.

The office contains many, many awards, including "2014 Excellent Pioneer Award" from 'Rolling Stone', Times Square N.Y. Lots of gold records, showing their billboard hits, plus so many statues and other honors. The effect is amazing!

And if you think their musical careers and successes have gone to their heads, I can assure you there is not one pretentious Drifter in the bunch!
