BIG SURPRISE

Jim & TeresaJust wanted to report the great time at the 2008 Cascade-Zydeco Dance Camp along with the wonderful surprise I received from Teresa, my soul mate. I was so clueless with this surprise and want to thank everybody at the Dance Camp for helping Teresa pull if off. I would also like to thank Portland Sideways for being apart of my surprise and the wonderful pictures you provided during camp.

I will treasure my surprise and I'm sure all of you will also have a recall of this event. It will be retold many times over and will always be fun to remember.

Many thanks - Jim Lalone Cascade Zydeco.
