RICHARD DeSCHERER Obituary

DeSCHERER--Richard K. The National Dance Institute family mourns the passing of our dear friend and champion, Dick DeScherer. Dick was a trusted friend of our founder, Jacques d'Amboise, a devoted Board member, and a guiding force at NDI for over three decades. His commitment to the arts and their ability to transform lives was unwavering. NDI flourished thanks to his brilliance, wisdom, and sound advice. His presence will be deeply missed. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to all those who knew and loved him, especially his children, grandchildren, and beloved wife, Jennie. The Board and Staff of National Dance Institute
