A Blast from the Past
Rocka-Rolla, Schletty's rock band comprised of college
classmates (SJU '74), is among the alumni musical performers featured
in
"The
Scene: Johnnie Rockers and Musicians" in
Saint John’s
University Magazine, Winter 2007. Here is the Rocka-Rolla
sidebar from the St. John's Magazine story: RockaRollaArticle.pdf
