I sensed that we had really connected with the audience. I could see it in their eyes. Afterwards" ASSOCIATE EDITOR Jimmy and I went to the concession table to meet people. It was fantastic! Ann Stephenson So many interesting comments - and the language ... the Dutch have a gift for speaking English in a way that actually makes it sound romantic. I talked to REGIONAL EDITORS two young Dutch girls, Marlou and Evelien for the longest time. They were Charles Gates so full of life and love and hope. I told them they must come to America and Chris Rumbaugh stay with us. Lionel Vargas The next morning while returning from a Dutch radio broadcast we drove past a large open field. I could see Marlou and Evelien. Marlou was dancing wildly and singing while Evelien followed close by. Just as our car passed DISTRIBUTION them my eyes met with those of Marlou. She stopped her dance and the melody ceased. I wanted to roll down the window and yell, "No, no, no! TaCOma/Seattle Don't stop dancing! Don't stop singing! To see you dance and sing is my Ann Stephenson joy! Don't be afraid, be the child that you are. Never stop being so free, so full of life. Don't let these eyes take away your freedom. Never!"
