Gleaning Facebook: The Burton Family Dancers

 I wonder how many dance recitals Sheila and I have attended over the years. Tonight we went to Joanne Collier’s recital at the city auditorium where we watched Gola, Keila, & Ginger dance in the seventies and eighties. Tonight we watched Carolyn Smyth wow the audience with grace and poise. And her pretty face is reminiscent of her namesake and our dear late friend. How Carolyn Burton would have enjoyed watching her grandchild in that recital tonight. Young Carolyn’s cousin Allie will dance in a recital in Dallas next week! And Sasha had a recital earlier today in Carrollton. We can't make them all!

There are friends then there are friends. Terrell Shaw and Sheila Matthews Shaw have supported me and mine for more years than I can remember. Thanks guys

And the Burtons us: construction, roofing, well-digging, gardening, storytelling, music-making, grieving, computer consulting, videoing, movie-making, rejoicing, job finding, even a bit of job providing! etc., etc., etc., ... in Booger Hollow, Chubbtown, Cedar Avenue, Avenue A, etc., etc. for almost half a century. Lordy we are getting old!


Michael J. Burton
Memories memories all good


Ginger Whiteis
So sweet!! Thanks Terrell. Who would've guessed all three girls would have carried on the tradition of dancing.


Michael J. Burton
All three granddaughters. Remember I first danced with Joann in 1957.

"How Carolyn Burton would have enjoyed watching her grandchild in that recital tonight." God bless the precious memories of Carolyn as well and Burnita and others...


Michael J. Burton
I'm sure they are grinning ear to ear with pride
