Sad news: Marge Mayer

We were very sorry to hear from Joe that Marge Mayer had passed away Aug 25, 2017, at age 96.  Marge was a longtime Argonne folk dancer.  We had been thinking of Marge just recently when doing New York, New York, which was her favorite dance.

Sad news: Aldona Baranauskas

We were saddened to hear of the passing of Aldona Baranauskas yesterday.  Aldona danced at Argonne for many years.  Roo forwarded the information from Aldona's daughter Marija.  Marija says that there will not be any service, since Aldona specifically didn't want one.  She hopes everyone just takes a moment to remember her joy of dance and maybe something nice about her.  I recall that she really liked to do T'Filati, and Shoofni.   But if Hole In The Wall came on, or if the music was playing too loudly, she would leave immediately.  She used to bring Kugelis (Lithuanian potato pudding) to our pot lucks, always delicious.  Our sympathy to Marija and the rest of her family.
