like we did last summer, or was it 50+ years ago?

 

Had a ball and am now paying the “aches/pains” price for acting like a 20 yr. old.  We didn’t set a world record, but DID dance the twist for almost 1/2 hour.  Chubby came out in the audience and even danced with Jackie and Daughter Deb.  We didn’t set a record of 1700+ dancing the twist, but a large crowd enjoyed interacting with Chubby – he was really into it!  He signed an autograph to Jackie, (the 1962 “Queen of Twist”), and he signed my “Game On” Tee.  What a blast……………..if only it didn’t hurt, (yes I will have some cheese with that whine) .  Ron
