Well, years ago we were a little late getting down to my wife's parents (who were dairy farmers.) She called and said, "Dad, we're stuck behind a milk truck… so we'll be a little late." 5 minutes later her Dad called back and said, "I've talked with the truck driver and he said you should've left on time!" At our dance, there's probably no one at the door for the last 4 dances. But sounds like at other dances people are still collecting, and so at those dances, folks should leave on time if they want more dances for their admission price. I think many of us have this feeling that we have to make everything all right for every one, in our dance community and beyond. But you know, it's also up to the individual's to make things right themselves. Stephen Moore Lenox (MA) Contra Dance
