Richard F. Smith

Zouave Drill team from 1925 to the early 70's. They did star formations and other movements at 300 steps per minute. At the end of a 15 minute performance they scaled a 12 ft wall. The team performed five times on the Ed Sullivan Show and also was part of a movie in Hollywood titled "The Court Jester" starring Danny Kaye. They marched in every parade in the area including the Detroit Thanksgiving Parade. They were only allowed to do exhibition drills at the State and National Legion Conventions.
