NutsaboutBallet Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 All of Mr "A"'s fans will truely miss him & the persoanlity he brought to the Chicago ballet scene. For so many of us, the persona he projected thru his Joffrey dancers reached our hearts every time they danced! A ballet legend that most certainly will never be forgotten. Quote Link to comment
bec2 Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I will always be grateful for the role he played in bringing the Joffrey Ballet to Chicago. He was certainly dedicated to the company. At performances, it always made me smile to see him up in his box and to hear his hearty shouts of "bravo!". He will be missed. Quote Link to comment
