Just had to share these words with everyone, which brought tears to my eyes of joy and confirmed what I did almost 3 years ago was the path I was suppose to take. These beautiful words are from Gina Ludwig Masson, if you have time to read. "I also want to share with you a story from our early days of being a part of the Troupe. Obviously we were strangers when Alan, someone we will always consider a trusted mentor, sent your email about forming a dance troupe. As a mom, I cannot tell you how perfectly timed that email was. I know you know the struggle of finding dance training that is a good fit for young boys… and when your email arrived I was already exasperated to the point of giving up on dance altogether. But the troupe instantly filled that gap I had struggle for so long to figure out. For our first year of being in the troupe I referred to you as “The Benefactor”, simply because you were that person that had miraculously swooped in and provided a component of the training that we just could not figure out on our own. Along the way we became friends, and I did start referring to you as Lynn, but that feeling of gratitude for the opportunity that you created and provided will never go away. We are forever grateful to have been a part of it. Thank You Gina! I'm in forever gratitude to Alan Kilpatrick.
