"Mr Kull was my band director at Aquinas in 1968-1971. We were able to attend several parades, contests and events under his direction.the most fun was painting our band room which had cement blocks. He let us paint each block a different color and paint peanut characters on the wall. He was one of my favorite teachers. I am so sorry for your loss. Connie Johnson"
