At age 92, trumpeter Harry Herforth '40 DP, '67 B.M. is still blowing his horn! A former member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Cleveland Orchestra, Harry was recently asked to join the 25-piece swing band called TOPS: Cleveland's Tough Old ProS. All are retired musicians, and can they swing! With two CDs and funding from the city, TOPS is called upon to perform at community centers and elderly housing. Harry says it has given him a new lease on life and kept his lips in shape. 7/17/08
