Thanks Marge. Back in our day, Jeanie (Jeanette Weddington) Kegley, New Boston '48', was among the best ever jitter-buggers in our area and she doesn't like for me to say so. She was smooth and a lot like the young lady, Kayla Henley above, in her smooth and classy rhythmic moves. I didn't dance a lick and, although she told me early on in our courtship that she could teach me, guess what? She couldn't! In any actions, even athletics, I needed to get the joints loose before I could get coordinated. But when she got me into the slow dance of our day- I didn't want to dance. ;)
