Nellie-Bond Dickinson

What a terrific person. She touched so many students. Not just her talented dance ones, butthose of us glutsy students too.Our song was "We'll float thru the air, with the greatestof ease.

I wish that I could be there to celebrate Bondie's life with you. What an amazing life it was. We are blessed to have been graced by her spirit. She lived with such creativity and energy, and I hope that we'll all continue to live fully, in her honor.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family.
