A CONTRA DANCE EXPERIENCE “I went to the Carrillo Ballroom for the Contra Dance. There were a lot of people there. A big group from SLO, some from Pasadena, Hawaii, and even Edith was there. There were lovely women I enjoyed dancing with. Swinging with a tiny girl who was perhaps 7 years old was sweet. I had a great fun goofy time with Leah whom I had met years ago. There were delicious strawberries, chips and guacamole and chocolate birthday cake at the break.. I danced every dance and mingled around saying good bye to folks. The live band was great! It was a great night!” -Duncan
