[Callers] Thursday Night Flash! was: Re: suggestions for dances

[Winston, Alan P. via Callers]

My mail client isn't showing the fraction in A1 that shows how far the 
men turn.

Thinking it through, I guess it's either
   1.25 (gents are closest to partner with their backs to partner, so 
have to turn around)
or
   1.75 (gents are closest to neighbor but facing partner; gents start 
the do-si-do by
            passing  right shoulder (or pulling by with the hand they've 
got) with each other,        then finish the do-si-do back to back in 
the line)

Colin, what didf you have in mind?
