I won my first dance contest.

The year was 1954. I was 13,

The guy in the background won best D.A. in school. The girl's name was Arlene Spakowski.

The song was the Dry Marteri by Ralph Marteri.

Jim Lounsbury. Jim hosted Chicago bandstand in the 1950s.

Looks like the Hokey Pokey to me, led by Marvin the Bopper Wallace.

Jim Dandy rocks with Little Miss muffler while the Bopper watches.

This was my first gig. Not one person showed up.

So we danced and had a gay time.

My soulmate for 60 years has died. (12-30-22) Or I should say was killed. 24 hours in the hospital and she was dead. What killed her? Its called Iatrogenic. Look it up. You will be shocked. Then look up, The third leading cause of death in America today. With the first two being treated by Doctors and hospitals.  Iatrogenic is the number one killer in America.  Linda Lu, you have gone to a far better world but you will never be forgotten.
