We met Patsy Jean Combs 20+ years ago in a Calnevari RV Park, and each year thereafter in Las Vegas, Gold Canyon, Desert Hot Springs and Amado! One server at Oasis Cafe in Las Vegas heard the words "tap dance", suddenly I was singing a dance tune and those 2 ladies were tapping! We always had such fun with her. Love from her Rosedale, Alberta, Canada friends Dale & Suzanne Sands
