I AM GOING TO BE IN SAN DIEGO FOR A WWII REUNION THE LAST WEEK IN SEPTEMBER. I WILL TRY AND MAKE TIME FOR A VISIT TO ONE OF YOUR SITES.
AT PRESENT I AM RUNNING SWING DANCES AND CONTESTS IN THE OKLAHOMA AREA. MY NAME IS MICKEY SHERMAN AND I WON THE NATIONAL JITTERBUG CONTEST IN ATLANTIC CITY IN 1940. I ALSO USED TO FREQUENT THE SAVOY AND HAD A BALLROOM ACT IN VAUDEVILLE. AT AGE 76 I STILL LINDY AND DO IT ALL EXCEPT I LEAVE OUT THE AERIALS. I KEEP IN SHAPE BY DOING TAI CHI AND ALSO TEACH IT AT SEVERAL COLLEGES. GOOD LUCK AND KEEP ME POSTED.
When Mickey is in town, I am sure we can all make him feel welcome. Furthermore, I can't wait to talk to him about his dance experiences!
