billeylerThey all go on RSVP cruises!
Jeez...I put out an APB a few weeks ago on lgcwsd to see if there were any other folks going on the Alaska cruise. I did get a note back from Steve Johnson from Chi-town that he'd be there with bells on, so I didn't expect anyone else there that I/we knew.
Such a silly boy I am! Not only were there folks from Albuquerque there that are FORMER square dancers, but there were at least 16 others that I knew from days gone by, some of them still active dancers. There were more that I vaguely recognized, but couldn't place. But still among the 1850+ people on the ms Oosterdam, I found that significant.
Jim Copeland had a whole posse there from Portland, in VERY festive mode stolen from by-gone days of Bradley Belle drag at the opening tea dance. There were two guys from DC that moved to Rehoboth Beach a few years ago and don't dance much. Several in Palm Springs that are really WELL up in years now and don't dance much if at all.
More later on the 7 day Alaska RSVP. In a nutshell though, we had a wunnerful wunnerful time, but if I see one more son-or-daughter-of-a-famous (Judy Garland)-or-even-vaguely-known-actor (Eileen Heckart) do a tribute to their parent, I might just cut a vein.
