I was saddened to hear Ms Vicie had passed away. She and Bob
aka "professor Katzenjamer" were founders and first participants at the Texas Folklife Fedtival. Vicie hosted all the lost children at Folklife for many, many years. They were amazing advocates for the event, helping spread the word around Texas for us. She and Bob would drop by for visits when they would come to San Antonio. Dear friends, a wonderful loving couple. My heartfelt condolences to Bob and her family. She will be missed by her many friends.
