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
mu
Oh this is so sad.. "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!!

is otherwise identical.

Greg

Bill,
The dance is at the end of Emily’s email. Note that it is in “indecent”
formation and a little tricky. As was our dear George.

Hi, Hannah!
I very much second Alex Deis-Lauby's recommendations. The difficulty in a
contra corners figure in contra formation is two-fold: the out-of-minor-set
interaction and the short allemandes. If you can get the dancers to do
short allemandes earlier in the evening and use a dance without
I plan to call it on Friday in Charlottesville and also on Sunday evening
in Winston Salem at the Salem College dance. So strange to think about
calling a dance in the Triad without George being there. And if your group
of dancers isn't up to Dean's dance, A Nice Combination would also be great

So Jack's email made me think about the old days touring with Scrod Pudding and
T-Acadie and our normal Tuesday stop at the Vintage theater in Winston. George
would pretty much always be the first to arrive and help us load in. Last to
leave too. He was always fun to watch from the stage with hi
Linda posted many of her dances on her website. With the original site gone,
I’d like to share the copy I preserved. I plan to keep it up for a very long
time.
