It is also the halfway point in a year in which BY-LINE we vowed to keep a positive outlook, as Jo Jan Nunley very appropriately < reminds us. Carl and Jo Brandt of Fort Wayne share a letter they wrote to their class graduates, emphasizing club loyalty. Also from Indiana, Sue Brown relates her adventures in attending a national con- vention. Space necessitated a digest of her entertaining and Erma Bombeck-like story, but we hope you enjoy the portion here. Last but not least, Barbara McMenamin in- vites dancers to enjoy dancing with handicapable dancers. Barbara is the author of Dancing with the Mentally Handicapped. published by ASD.
