Mrs. GRR! - my amazing wife

Feature acticle in Linedancer Magazine - Dec 2011 Click here

Hi Guys,
Here's a heads up on Maureen, my amazing wife.

For those of you who know Maureen you know she had major back surgery approximately two years ago. She's had more back problems since the beginning of this year. After repeated scans and X-Rays her surgeon has determined that her problems are inoperable.
Now she struggles to get around the house, never mind dance. She's always been the mainstay of our organisation, keeping our classes going while I was offshore. I usually had 6 - 8 intermediate dances to learn every time I returned home!

She's been house bound since April, but she's getting back into the groove, researching good dances to teach. To our classes delight she's back teaching, albeit from a wheelchair - yes, a wheelchair! Not teaching wheelchair dances, but normal line dances.
Now our students finally listen to the instructions and do the steps, instead of them saying "I can't see what you're doing" - How many times have you heard that?
I always used to say to them "You don't need to see, just listen to the instructions and do it"
Now they listen with their ears, not their eyes! And no more cricked necks looking over their shoulders.

Rock on Maureen - we love you!!!
