Elaine Stanley at the California Academy of Science, San Francisco, June 10, 2009
Since retiring from 40 years of teaching in elementary schools, Elaine keeps active by becoming a master gardener, walking dogs, and conducting tours for Canine Companions for Independence - an organization that trains dogs to assist persons with disabilities. Elaine and her husband also go out on Bodega Bay fishing. Elaine's daughter and son-in-law (who hails from New Hampshire) are both specialty veterinarians in Tucson, Arizona. Exercise is important to Elaine, who does Scottish Dance on Monday Nights and walks briskly five times a week in her Santa Rosa, Califirnia neighborhood. She invited us to view her performance with the Redwood Country Cloggers as they perform "Cajun Moon" at the Cloverdale Old Time Fiddle Festival in northern California, on YouTube. Click on the link to see Elaine dance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYXe-T-d_Tw or enter Redwood Country Cloggers in Google or your favorite search engine. Elaine says that clogging is like tap-dancing, square-dancing, and folk dancing all melded together. She dances with her group at farmer's markets and fairs.
