Tango Treasure

Pictured here with her escort and grandson Rory, my 93-year-old mother was recognized by the Tango Society of Minnesota as a “Tango Treasure” at their year-end gala held at the recently renovated Granada Theater. She has been ballroom dancing since her early twenties. It is how she met my father who was putting himself through college as a ballroom dance instructor at the time. Among the 140 attendees, she was there to dance and had no idea she would be honored in this way. She is an inspiration to our entire family and an example of how pursuing your passion keeps you young at heart.
