Re: [Callers] Hull's Victory

Several were but the crowd was not always the same composition (the three times were across two dance series), so there were folks experiencing it totally anew each time. Overall, I think the general level improved over time. On Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 1:20 PM, James Saxe wrote:
