Choreographers Note: Our wonderful mate Fred Adams from Melbourne helped me with this

dance. It is  dedicated to him and his incredible fighting spirit. Although I know he

is often in pain, his smile never wavers and he is truly an inspiration to us all.

Fred tells us that he is 'here for the short time, not the long time' … Well Fred,

only one thing in life is a suriety and that is the fact that everyone of us must be

Called Home at some stage. Some of us may even get there before you do, because there

are no guarantees on life, you go when the time is right for you. I just think of it

as a trip we haven't taken yet and since Anneke's death 2 years ago I am no longer

Afraid of that journey. What really counts are the memories you leave behind in other

people's minds-and Fred you have left us many lovely ones which  will be remembered

each time we dance YOUR dance to this beautiful song by Marie Haslemore. God bless

you Fred  and thank you for your friendship - we love you to bits. Hope to see you

on the floor sometime  - somewhere…….Jan
