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.

Hi all,
George Rettie, the NC dancer in the yellow ruler suspenders, passed away unexpectedly
this week. 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.
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.
Love,
Emily
