Thank you Lisa for sharing. Sending love out to those who knew Tony better than I did — the few interactions I had with him were entirely lovely.

Like Mary, I'm also calling a dance on Friday. I'd love to call one of Tony's dances — what are y'all's favorites?

Best,
Angela

Lisa,

Thanks for sharing this.  I am calling Friday and will certainly add a Tony aspect to the evening.  His insights, support & dance writing will be sorely missed.

Caller Tony Parkes passed away yesterday with his wife, Beth, at his side. He will be missed.

At the lovely Tony Parkes tribute at this year’s Neffa Festival, Beth spoke of how Tony was touched and surprised that so many people were telling him about his impact on their lives. Well, yes, Tony! He was a true treasure.
