2011 started on a sad note. On January 10, 2011 we lost one of our dear friends, Bob Pope, who at 93, had been a member of San Juan Squares since 1975. He was also a caller for quite a few years, and he was instrumental in keeping the club going for many years. Bob stopped calling several years ago, after sustaining damage to his vocal chords. He continued to dance until February 2010, when his physical condition no longer allowed him to do so. Nevertheless, he continued to attend Monday night class, and he was our resident expert, providing advice and guidance on all square matters.
We were very fortunate to have met him, and he helped us become better persons. We miss him and we'll always remember him. He was a role model for us to emulate.
