<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18708/20111104/potsdam-woman-celebrates-military-music-milestone</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 4, 2011) A Potsdam woman was one of the founding members of the Women’s Air Force Band back in the early 1950’s. Beverly Washburn was also the first female tuba player in an Air Force band and the ensemble&apos;s assistant conductor.
