Tribuite to Marvin


I first met Marvin in 2000 when he was only 76 years old, and I thought at the time I hope I have as much energy as him when I'm 76. Marvin became a regular and would always go to Perkins after folkdancing. Over the years Marvin continued to give life to our little folk dance group, and we were all very fond of him and one by one we all have a story to tell about Marvin. I have a few video clips of Marvin Dancing. In these three, Marvin is dancing with Rosalind Yanishevsky

At the end of the evining, just before the last dance, I knew Rosalind was leaving so I went and said Goodbye to Rosalind. She was one of the founders of our folk dance group here in Kalispell. Rosalind passed away June 6, 2010. There is a very nice tribuite to Rosalind In Memory of Rosalind Yanishevsky By Keith Hammer
