Teter or Peter Dumser At The Hammond Organ

above 1958
So at Broyles Skateland in 1958 Teter Dumser played the Organ.  Teter was really Peter and the next day the newspaper issued a correction

anyway Peter Frederick Dumser (1926-1987) was from Portland Maine and was a professional musician.  The name Dumser may sound familiar because in 1959 he married Gladys Wagner Thrush of Ocean City who had Bernies Dairyland (previous husband was Bernie Thrush) .  After the marriage the name was changed to Dumser's Dairyland.  They sold it much later and retired to Florida where he died.  He played in many places  from Maine to Pennsylvania to Maryland to Florida - always the Organ.

In August of 1958 Skateland burnt.  It was located about where Pep Boys is today.
