Examples Of Our Activities With "The Gang"

2024
Note: We lost Leon Brander this year, he will be missed.
2020-2023
Note: We lost Del this year.
COVID-19 was active and we were not as active as previous years. We did continue dancing courtesy of Marcin and several venues that allowed us in. Our music was a mix of Internet, DJ, and some bands so needed practice sessions.
This was our last social event with Sue as she passed 2/19/2020. She was a tiger and never wanted to miss and event. We also lost Del Kuhn, Kathy Roberts, and Neil Wools ton.
These were "The Dark Ages" for our group but we bounced back; you cannot keep a good group down.
Sue's health was in decline and I spent my time with her and significantly reduced my time on the web. during 2018-2023
2020
Note: We lost Cathy and Sue this year, ten days apart. It was a shock to all of us!
