The Pictures are from 1957, the lower picture is some women from the audience.
The women to the far right is my mother, the man behind her (with the Mic)
is Chief Tavooie(sp) Does anyone out there know about him? He was very nice to
me when I danced there 50 years ago. He used to buy me kiddie cocktails and
let me sit at the bar with him. The top picture is of us kids from June Roll
School of Dance, Desplaines, Il.My sister and I are in the photo.She is second row
last to the right, I'am first row second in from right. I'm now 57 and look a little different. Chief Tavooie was a dancer and fire eater.My relatives used to come and watch us. It was amazing to see all the people at their tables watching
us and applauding at the end.We danced to tahitian songs and danced Somoan dances.
