[Michlib-l] Bernie Margolis

[Marty Ferriby]

Connie --

Thanks for reminding me that indeed, Bernie did always start the dancing.
It brought a smile to my face on a sad day.  We don't dance much anymore at
MLA without him, do we?

He was one in many million, and is sorely missed for so many reasons.
