In 1985 I was a charter member of the Tidewater Shag Club and a member of the Virginia Beach Shag Club since 1989. I have served every year in some capacity on the VBSC Board and also Dance Committee Chairperson for many years.
I have been honored by the following:
1990 inducted into the VIRGINIA SHAGGERS HALL OF FAME
2003 awarded the SHAG ICON AND NATIONAL LIVING LEGEND AWARD
2007 Co-Chaired ACSC/SOS ICON SELECTION COMMITTEE
2008 JUNIOR SHAG ASSOCIAION, Board Member
I am from New Jersey, raised 5 children and moved to Virginia and fell in love with SHAG dancing. The friendships I’ve made thru dancing and traveling to other club parties and especially SOS (Myrtle Beach, SC) have enriched my life.
