A LITTLE FUN TO SHARE!

In life you either have the opportunity to meet some really special people, or not. I have no idea why I have been privy to some of the best. When I look back and remember all the trips we have had because of Colwell Colour - it amazes me. Bermuda, Orlando, just to name a few. Miss America's, Miss Indiana's, and dance champions. Mohammed Ali in an elevator - what a nice man. Meet just one of many - Jacob Flynn. He was a senior in H.S. when I asked him to come and dance for the Miss Northeast Indiana Pageant as fill. He had already won many national tap dance championships and I was very excited to have him on our stage. I also remember his mother who is Human Resources Director for Colwell, she asked John what was she going to do with her young son. "Why?" "Well, he likes to dance, what should I do?" John told her to encourage him and see where it goes. Wow, well, there he was on my stage, and moving on in the world. Close to 30 now, he is a choreographer with the Fox TV channel's, So You Think You Can Dance. I never miss those shows. He also owns his own Dance Studio called Insensity out of Carmel, Indiana. He trains young dancers and they travel the United States to compete in dance shows.

Last night he judged for Dancing With The Stars fundraiser in Kendallville, Indiana. It is a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity. They raise a lot of money for this dance-off. John does their posters and I have judged. This year I was asked to be the photographer. Jacob is not only talented, but everyone loves his personable demeanor and that he is so down to earth. You could run into him in Los Angeles, or Kendallville and get a tremendous greeting and interest in what is new with you. I consider it a real privilege to know Jacob and wanted to share him with you.

We need lots of young people like him in this world.

Just so you know we are NOT enjoying 10 inches of snow on Wednesday and 5 more today, they missed that prediction by a mile. John is out right now snow blowing a trail for Dakota and I for the 5th time this week alone. Yeah - 43 more days until spring. Bah Humbug!

Okay - so I will go out make a snow angel.
