Sad News: Phyllis Breit

 We were sad to hear of the passing of Phyllis Breit, who we used to see every year at the fall folk dance camp in Oconomowoc.  Phyllis was an active member of the commitee that organized the camp for many years, and she will be missed.

Folk Dancing appeared twice in Sunday Chgo Trib

 

Reading yesterday's Tribune, I came across the words "folk dancing" not once, but twice!  Here are links to the articles:

Downsizing? Take Your Hobbies With You - Chicago Tribune Special Advertising PrimeTime

and

 Folk schools want to be more inclusive. Here’s how the 1st one in Illinois plans to make it happen. – Chicago Tribune

In case either of those links doesn't work, for paywall or adblock reasons, here are the relevant clips (the photo above is from the "PrimeTime" special advertising section, as is the following highlighted clip):

 And the next clip is from the article about The Farms Folk School, which will be opening at Allerton Park, in Monticello, IL, west of Champaign:
