My wife and I treasure happy memories, beginning at the Aerojet Rec Center. M’Liss introduced us to ballroom dancing and a lifetime of enjoyment, as well as the wide circle of other dance enthusiasts. While age has slowed our dance steps, the sound of a Latin rhythm invigorates happy memories of her ‘counting out the beat’. Our thanks to M’Liss and Harold. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
