John was such a spark for the independent dance world. He really understood artists' needs and was always curious about new work. Just as he was taking the job at The Place he asked me if I had any advice to give him. I told him, just keep things changing, not fixing. He did that, he managed to stay open to new developments and innovative artists over the years, and made visible, for audiences, so many new artistic ventures. I am glad and grateful to have known him and seen him develop the independent dance scene over so many years. Have a wonderful memorial day on July 6th, I am sorry I cannot be there. emilyn
