[Oe List ...] Salmon has another story to tell

[William Salmon]

Colleagues – Another story comes to mind:
	Recently, my cousin sent me a video about an 87 year-old Salsa Dancer who was terrific. She observed that I now had only 12 more years to practice to be able to dance like her when I was 87. 
    This does remind me of an incident in Brussels. We had a neighborhood bar just down the street, from our “convent” global headquarters. For those who will remember, you walked past on the left side of the Roman Catholic Church about a block. A lot of WWII Belgians gathered there every night to drink beer and dance to an old Juke box with the standards from the 30's and 40's. 
    One night I was taking in the local night life with several colleagues, and one old woman tapped me on the shoulder to dance. She was delightful and a great dancer. Of course we never said a thing because of the language barrier. Later that evening, one Belgian came over to explain that my dance partner was born deaf! She felt the music through her feet and followed the lead of her partner. 
    Interesting, eh? 
   Bill
