[Janis Kenyon]

This afternoon, at a ceremony in the Salon Dorado of the city legislature,
Maria Nieves Rego was honored as an illustrious citizen of Buenos Aires.  We
viewed a video of Maria dancing on stage with Juan Carlos Copes to Quejas de
Bandoneon.  In her remarks, Maria said she was born to dance and expressed
her gratitude to Juan Carlos Copes, her partner of 40 years.  She danced a
tango with several milongueros whom she summoned from the audience including
Julio Duplaa and Armando Giacovelli.  Maria began dancing at the age of 14
and didn't hesitate to mention that she is 73.
