Celebrity sighting at Stockton!

Since starting to teach folk dance five years ago, I've used Dick Oakes' website www.phantomranch.net SO MUCH! There is an incredible abundance of information about there. Imagine my surprise at camp when I came face-to-face with a lovely man wearing a name tag that read 'Dick Oakes'. I asked him, "Are you THE Dick Oakes??" We chatted about dancing, being at camp for the first time (he is a first-time camper at Stockton this year, too!), and commiserated about our sore feet.
One of the best parts of my week was attending the camper-led workshop "Dances For All Ages" that Dick taught on Tuesday.

Dick is a fabulous teacher - so knowledgeable about the material, smooth in his delivery of the instruction, affable in every way. Experiencing his workshop was witnessing masterful teaching, and a highlight of my week.
At the end of the workshop, Dick set out a box of things he'd collected over the years and invited us to take one. Pictured above is a painted wooden doll from Yugoslavia. The picture below is me in the presence of greatness -- with Dick Oakes.

Hi Stacy!
Great time at Stockton Folk Dance Camp 2014!
Thanks for the write-up on your website. Glad you got one of the "give-aways."
If my feet aren't bothering me then, I'm going to ask Stockton whether or not I can teach a class in "Teacher Training" (teaching teachers to teach!).
Cheers,
Dick
