It may have been true that Becky paved the way. But by the time I started
calling in 1998, I don’t think it ever occurred to me that there were more
men than women. I recall not only Becky, but also Kathy Anderson, Cis
Hinkle, and Lisa Greenleaf making regular stops in Pittsburgh. And probably
more women than those who come immediately to mind.

I call several of Becky's dances, they're
still among my favorites.
Sandy Bradley and Kate Charles were two women callers that I remember
hearing & wanting to emulate back when I started calling in 1978. They
mostly called squares, with a very musical, fun style. Sandy lives up in
the PNW, I don't think she calls much these days. Kate we lost way too
early.
