Joyce and I
started dancing 26 years ago. I had to be dragged to my first class.
At that time I had no idea that after that night it would become
another way of life for both of us.
My calling career began when I was dared to do a singing call on an
Amateur Callers Night. I really enjoyed it. After that I was hooked
and attended Earl Johnson’s Callers School in Sturbridge, MA.
I called my
first dance on March 24, 1984, a dance which was hosted for me by
many of my Square Dance friends. At the end of this dance I was
approached by a group of dancers that wanted to start a new club.
They hired me for the club and it was called the Sea Shell
steppers of Acushnet, MA. I continue as their caller for dances
and classes to this day.
Later, I was asked to become the club
caller for the Spares and Squares of Canton, MA, the Town Howlers of
Portsmouth, RI and the Scrambled 8's of Walpole, MA.
In addition to the
Sea Shell Steppers, I am the club caller
for the Scrambled 8's and the Town Howlers.
I enjoy traveling and guest calling
for many clubs throughout New England, and have called at every New
England Convention since 1984.
I am a member of Callerlab, the Old Colony Callers Association and
the Narragansett Callers Association.
