"Suspenders George" was a good friend and one of my very favorite dancers when we toured down that way. George was always friendly and always helpful. And he sure was a great "dipper".. Please forward the Dean Snipes dance and I will call it next chance I get!! bill in Maine ________________________________ From: Callers <callers-bounces(a)lists.sharedweight.net> on behalf of Emily Rush via Callers <callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> Sent: Friday, February 22, 2019 3:55 PM To: Caller's discussion list Subject: [Callers] In honor of George Rettie 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.
