Losing a Friend

A wonderful dancer is gone. Willie Thorns was a graceful sight on the Cape Cod dance floors. His smooth, quiet style seemed effortless as he and Jan would slide between the other couples. I would invoke the image to encourage my students to step out a bit more, take charge of their dancing and enjoy the space as he did.
As a sailor, he knew the ocean can be a cruel mistress, but we did not think his luck would run out so soon.
