Even though Joe is deaf and they can’t dance anymore, you will recognize them at many dances and
musical events, as music was, and is, a big part of
their world.
They have met many wonderful and happy people
over the years, especially following and traveling
with Dain and Leon.
They tell everyone they meet, “Even if you can’t
dance or hear the music, get out and go while you
can, and visit with people.”
