VSO took off on Thursday, September 19, 2002. Living Lindy Legend Frankie Manning was on hand to remind us all that we can do this forever!

This is the sixth photo with Frankie that I have
I hope that I get at least 20 more!

The happiest result from VSO was the surprise engagement of Lara Deni and Greg Dumont during the Jam on Thursday night. I have seen several of these things, and this was by FAR the biggest surprise. Once the crowd figured out what was happening, they went wild. There bust have been a ten minute Standing Ovation. Our warmest regards to Lara and Greg!

The Eight Week Wonders were out in force once again, having a great time and seeking out last place, wherever it may be... Thanks to Tom and Debra and the judges at VSO for putting up with us. We had a wonderful time. Our sincere congratulations to Lawrence Bradford's Smooth'n'EZ Hand dancers who won a well-deserved victory!
