I knew Mitch primarily from our time in A band.   Mitch was a drummer and without question loved to play.   The band for years was pretty awful since Roy F. Dietz gave every body an "A" independent of their talent or effort.  There certainly were members of the band who played with skill and passion; Mitch exemplified that and everybody understood his musical ability.  His time to shine came every Saint Patrick's Day she he marching was would play "dahntawn."   Invariably it would be a cold rainy day in the Burgh and we would have to do nour itchy smelly 1927 woolen uniforms.   I don't recall anybody being particularly enthused except for Mitch who was a smiling ball of energy.   Yearly he would make sure that this rag tag group would assemble under one of the many bridges and Mitch would just go nuts on hit snare putting everyone in the right frame of mind.  The sound and cadence he generated was memorable as was he.
