He'd been dancing since at least the 1980's, and it was a rare dance that he didn't attend. He was always the first to volunteer (and did, more hours than I can count), personally thanked the musicians and callers, danced with beginners, dipped everyone beautifully and frequently, flirted with us all, could call one dance (Gene Hubert's "A Nice Combination"), brought his children into the dance community, and was a favorite partner to many, many dancers. </div><div><br></div><div>Myra, Adina, and JoLaine are calling a dance that Dean Snipes wrote for George some years ago. If you're calling sometime soon and are so moved, I would like to invite you to call it too. If you're dancing, I hope you'll go up to the stage and thank the musicians and callers, welcome the beginners, and have an extra-good time.</div><div><br></div><div>Love,</div><div>Emily</div><div><br></div><div>----------------------------------------------</div><div><br></div><div>George is Rettie, Willing, and Able</div><div>by Dean Snipes</div><div>Indecent (2s crossed), double progression</div><div><br></div><div>A1. </div><div>Neighbor balance & swing</div><div><br></div><div>A2. </div><div>Pass thru across, turn alone</div><div>Star R 1x, pull by up and down with your neighbor</div><div><br></div><div>B1. </div><div>New ladies allemande L 1x while gents orbit 1/2 clockwise</div><div>Partner swing</div><div><br></div><div>B2. </div><div>Long lines forward & back</div><div>Ladies right hand pull by, neighbor allemande L 1.5</div></div>
