- "I wanted to say again how much the Rehoboth community enjoyed your first calling gig here in Rehoboth! I got a lot of positive feedback from dancers, young and old--not only on your calling, but also on your singing square and the supplement to the music with your trombone playing! We have great callers in general, but (as one young teen dancer told me) you are different in unique ways and add variety to the Rehoboth experience. Looking forward to your next visit here!
