[Squaredancing] Interesting Square Dance Club Web Site IStumbledUpon

[James W. Spinks.1]

Dave,

Yup I remember it. And in late 1967 or 1968 I attended
a dance in Cherry Hill NJ in an OLD Barn if I remember
correctly. The Adult Sponsors, Martin and Ruth Ackerman
of my Club, Twirler's and Whirler's (Wheaton Maryland) were
good friends of the Art Seele and his family. A matter of
fact, during late August of 2003 T&W's had a reunion in
Bethesda MD and Betsy attended as did Tom Sneller... still a
Caller... he was one of the Club's homegrown "Young Adult"
callers when I was in the club (1966 thru 1971) while in HS
and College.  Besty and Tom called for us attending the
reunion. If I remember correctly the ChurchMice Dance
I attended along with other T&W members was around Xmas or
New Year's Day.

Square Dancingly Yours,
Jim Spinks

Dave,

Betsy Gotta is one of our club callers at Rutgers Promenaders
<http://www.rutgerspromenaders.org> and talks about the Churchmice
quite often.  If you're ever in the Central New Jersey area come
dance with our club. Mainstream, kid friendly, singles welcome.

I just happen to be President of the club. :-)

Ken Robinson
