 I called George's dance at the Charlotte NC dance Monday night.  One of our dancers
wore yellow suspenders in George's honor.And we danced with each other as if each next
person in line was our favorite dancer - George made us feel that way.Gretchen Caldwell

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.

Polly

  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
