  9. The Vagts family gives our sincere sympathy.
    Dad Bob would take us boys to the Pavilion, to watch the Embermen play. We stood in front of the stage and were amazed. I think I was 10 years old at the time. I thought they were the Beatles, they wore matching suits, so professional. They were a huge influence. I remember Chuck singing their hits. People loved the Embermen. A special time in life for music.
    Sincerely, Jan Vagts.

  10. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. I remember watching the Embermen play at the top of the stairs at the Montgomery Ward store in Wahpeton back in the days. They were great. I still have one of their records.
