Here's the cover of the invitation that went out to those going to the American Legion Hall in Elmhurst to join us for the domestic celebration in December.

We had a stellar time dancing with a live band organized by couple of our friends. Cathy Berry beautifully sang three sets of classic 40's tunes, backed up by a piano, bass, sax, guitar and drums.

Below are some highlights of a really fun evening.

The Domestic Invitation
This would prove to be my grandmother's (Roma) last ballroom dance. She died on Ash Wednesday, 2003. Dancing was one of her passions, and it was a privilege to share this moment with her.

...and they know how to use them!
