[Callers] Callers Digest, Vol 58, Issue 6

[Gretchen Caldwell]

 I called George's dance at the Charlotte NC dance Monday night.  One of our dancers wore yellow suspenders in George's honor.And we danced with each other as if each next person in line was our favorite dancer - George made us feel that way.Gretchen Caldwell

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
