The
Memorial Day weekend is one that I as a veteran take pretty seriously.
I'm remembering fallen friends and acquaintances from my three wartime
cruises on the USS Hancock (CVA-19). I made the decision last week not
to go to any sets or parties as I have the rare opportunity to take the
entire weekend off. No video to shoot. No photos to take. I'm not answering emails
(even though I may read them), I'm trying to stay away from the
phone and all of the calls, and text messages. Enjoy your parties and
sets… they've been updated for you. Please take a moment to remember
the troops, soldiers and sailors who paid the ultimate price so you have
the freedom to be a Chicago style stepper.If you would like to join SteppersUSA in Twitter or just to check it out, you'll see the twitter bird just below our logo. Just click on the twitter bird and it will bring you right to the SteppersUSA page on Twitter. Watch the bar or follow SteppersUSA by clicking here.

A Message To All Steppers (Click Here to View)
Please copy the message below and send it on to as many steppers as you can please!
This is an open message to ALL steppers. Please share it with as many people as possible.
As many of you may already know I started a new web
site for the benefit of the greater steppers community. It's called
History of Stepping Project. I wish to encourage you to add your
knowledge to the timeline. If you know anything about stepping, please
share this with the public on this site. We are looking for all
information related to stepping from it's beginnings to the present. The
information literally includes everything from clubs and bars which held
steppers sets and parties to contests and the participants and results,
to when different steppers organizations and classes started, who the
instructors were and are; Musical bands, and artists, DJ's, radio and
television personalities, Movies, videos, and photos… literally
everything stepping.
Creating an accurate historic timeline will go a long
way toward helping the community take the next step in its logical
progression as it continues to grow nationwide and will become a
valuable resource for all in the future.
Your input, your knowledge and your effort have made the dance what it
is today. Don't you feel your place (and your organization's) in the
timeline is well deserved? I do!
Please send an email to your members or readers inviting them to
participate. Place a link on your web site also please. All support is
appreciated!
The effort requires more than just posting the information. The need for fact checkers, people willing to do some research exists in this important ongoing project. Just a few minutes a week can make a difference.
Thank You for your time!
