And Now The Article!

Here's the article which accompanies the cover image posted last night.

I like the article... while it may overplay the mental puzzle aspect of square dancing a little, I strongly prefer that to the awful hayseed, country bumpkin image.

Alas, references to cuyahogarvr didn't make it in --we all met via square dancing-- but I'm guessing that those portions didn't fit with the writer's technical theme. One could write an entire other article on friendships, relationships & community ties in square dancing.

Yeah, I think the proper IAGSDC membership is closer to 59 at the moment; I suspect he looked at the IAGSDC web site without reading or interpreting the legend which indicates active membership. And the name of our fall festival is "Harper's Ferry Hoedown". And, yes, they misspelled justetthon's name.

Raleighwood Squares and Mermaid City Squares I believe are defunct; I thought Edo 8s are still active but wouldn't bet the family farm on it.

Edo 8's are indeed still very much active. and yes, Will (the author) should have checked his facts, perhaps running the rough draft by at least one of us before publishing. MY NAME! good grief. I think I even spelled it for him as I interviewed with him on the phone. But, the gist of the article is good, and I'm sure will be much appreciated. So, Brian, photoshopping out the "slinging porn"?? Everybody noticed THAT aspect of the cover!

Bad reporter! No biscuit! Was he asleep the day they told him in reporter school to double check name spelling a million times, even if it's Sam Smith?

So says the current journalism major...

In a nutshell, from a technical standpoint, you were definitely the right person to contact! :-)
