[Tango-L] Omar Vega

[MJWRITER@aol.com]

I have not contributed to this list for years, but with the death  of Omar 
Vega I will take the risk.  Omar was teaching in Seattle several  years ago and 
I was hosting a weekly milonga at my home with many local  dancers.  Omar and 
Bill Peterson joined us one night for a lovely  evening of dance.  Honoring 
the hostess -- me -- Omar danced several  dances with me and I was thrilled with 
his genius and skill. Later we  talked of his life history.  In addition to 
what Robin wrote, he had served  in the military for Argentina in the 
Malvinas/Falklands war which actually  wounded him deeply, although not literally.  
 
What a loss for the Tango community.  As Robin says, he was a dancer.
