[Callers] Dudley Laufman scrapbook

Dear fellow callers, I recently posted a notice here about the upcoming Ralph Page Dance Legacy Weekend, scheduled for Durham, NH, on January 12-14, 2007. At that weekend, Dudley will be honored for his more than 50 years of involvement in the world of traditional country dancing. We'd love to see all of you at the weekend, but some of you may not be able to attend, and in any event, it would be nice to have some written greetings. So... We're making arrangements for people who would like to send a card, an appreciation, a few lines of doggerel, a note of thanks, an anecdote, an old photo or souvenir, or anything else that will help commemorate the occasion. This needn't be a polished essay-- it's the thought that counts. We'll compile any and all such contributions into a scrapbook that can be presented to Dudley-- we might even be able to incorporate some of your tales into the Retrospective session. Please send your contributions to: Patrick Stevens 21 Prospect Street Portsmouth, NH 03021 It'll take Patrick time to compile your submissions, so sooner is better. Let's aim to have things to him by the end of November, just a month away. If you have questions, you can reach Patrick here: pstevens21(a)comcast.net Do tell others about this as well. Dudley's influence truly is nationwide, and it would be great to hear from dancers, callers, musicians, and organizers from around the country. Many thanks, David Millstone millstone(a)valley.net
