Last month, David Millstone and I sent out a call for stories about Ted
Sannella to mark the 25th anniversary of his death on November 18. There was a
terrific response, and we are proud to announce a new website, Sannella Stories
<https://sannellastories.syracusecountrydancers.org/> where these memories are
shared. Nearly 70 people sent in their “Sannella Story.” These range from
serious to silly, and include brief acknowledgments and more extended entries.
In addition, we've assembled a collection of photographs, audio files, and
videos. You'll also find dances and tunes that were written for Ted, an index
of all his dances, and links to other sites with information of interest.
Of course, it's still possible to add to this collection; you'll find that link
on the site as well.
The two of us will be presenting a short “Ted Talk” as part of the virtual
Ralph Page Dance Legacy Weekend, an event scheduled for Sunday afternoon,
January 17. Details are still being arranged, but updated information will be
available at the RPDLW site
<https://www.neffa.org/ralph-page/33rd-annual-ralph-page-dance-weekend/>.
Our sincere thanks to the many people who contributed and in this way are
helping to keep alive the memory of a major figure in the world of New England
traditional dance.
David Smukler
