For the historians: Before the Jan Jam video linked from the childgrove
page below started up, caller Roger Diggle introduced Kathy Hirsch, who
was dancing that evening. She was in the outer circle to the left of
the field of view. If I recall correctly, the short version of the
story was that she wrote it during a Breaking Up Thanksgiving weekend in
the early 1980's.

A few years ago a caller ended our annual weekend event with this.
The great partner interaction gave us a wonderful 30 second interlude
to wish all of our partners farewell.
