What a great reunion we had at the 24th Summer Solstice Folk Music Dance & Storytelling Festival on Saturday, June 24, 2006! This was held on the beautiful campus of Soka University of America in Calabassas. The event was held in memory of Elaine Weissman and Rudy Dannes and the honorees were Sherry Cochran, Barry Glass, Nick Nickols, Dick Oakes, and Paul Sheldon. Altghough Barry couldn't attend, Sherry, Nick, Dick, and Paul all lined up to receive a plaque from Athan Karras for the Fifth Intersection Reunion in "recognition for years of dedication teaching and fostering folk dance as a cultural expression."
The evening was lively, with live music provided by a Balkan Edition (their inaugural event!) interspersed with some recorded music. With about 200 folks showing up to dance, a merry time was had by all. Again this year, Paul "Chip" Sheldon led many of the dances. Both of the Romanian brothers Mihai David and Alexandru David showed up and led several dances. Of course, Athan Karras led several dances himself.
Below are links to pages of articles, movies, photos, and flyers we think you'll enjoy.
Cheers,
Dick Oakes
