In honor of the choreographer I had always wanted to work with, and got the chance. . . .

Yesterday, Betty Ford, today, Roland. Sigh. . . . I was somehow lucky enough that he created this on me and then I got to do it, and do it, and do it. I am sitting here thanking him for this work he created for me. He was absolutely terrifying to work with and didn't give me an inch. He was determined to squeeze every bit of my technical freakiness out of me. :) Dancing here with Olivier Wexcsteen, the always and forever favorite partner. Olivier's was the one set of footprints in the sand carrying me through this at "the most troublesome times," so to speak.

Betty Ford

In 1975, at a Martha Graham gala. I was very nervous meeting her, but she was so very kind.
