SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT # 1:

class I want to 
honor her with some of our old classmates‹as many as I can notify‹showing
up!!! SO THAT WEEK
DON¹T LEAVE TOWN!

ANNOUNCEMENT # 2:
Summer Reading A book is just published by VIRGINIA GIFT called TANGO: A
HISTORY OF OBSESSION.
I am just beginning to pour through its 450 pages and so far I think it is a
terrific read ‹juicy (enough to make me overlook typos) complex, with really
nice clear type, easy to read, illustrations beautifully printed-- much to
learn here, some stuff to argue (what else in tango?). Everyone will want to
read this. It is available through Amazon. The following I review is by Clay
Nelson a prominent West Coast organizer/dancer:

³I'd like to call your attention to a new book by Virginia Gift called
"Tango, A History of Obsession".  This book (over 400 pages) is the most
complete and detailed account of tango's history that I've ever
read.  Virginia discusses tango from all aspects: musical, political,
historical, philosophical, but with an emphasis on the dance--as she is a
tanguera herself.  You'll find it well researched with many quotes and
references from historical documents as well as from current dancers from
all over the world (for sure you will know and recognize many of them.)²
 
Announcement #3:
