[Callers] In honor of George Rettie

[Polly Minstrel]

Hi all,
Thanks for the info. I did not know George but these dance events run on
the work of volunteers and I appreciate them.
I will be calling Dean's dance on Friday, along with a short introduction
commemorating George.

Condolences to all who called him friend.

Polly
