AU REVOIR, MAMSELLE

When my nephew, Mitch Worley was in High School, he was an extremely good football player, and he also excelled in baseball.  In one of his games I saw, he came up to bat with the bases loaded and he hit the ball completely over the center field wall, scoring himself and three others who were on base at the time.  When I see him now after 40 something years, I tell him,  "Mitch that home run ball you hit is still climbing!"

My children and other nieces and nephews have done some remarkable feats, also.  Let me tell you about my  grandson, Ben Delony.

Ben is now in his Junior year at Indiana University where he is on a scholarship in the Ballet department.   The entire department is highly accredited all over the world.  Ben has been training in ballet since he was about 5 or 6 years old, and is quite accomplished.

He was performing on stage before a packed audience on March 29, 2009.  Mamoo and I were watching this live on our computer in Baton Rouge through the web-site.  One of his dance steps required him to lift a girl dancer (while she was on  her tip-toes) all the way over his head, and then toss her backward over his head, to be caught in mid-air by another male dancer standing behind him. 

 When he did this "impossible" move -  the girl just seemed to disappear from the stage.  WOW!

I told him on the phone the next day that the girl probably was still flying out the back door of the stage!  I have named the step:  "AU REVOIR MAMSELLE!"
