Author's Notes:
This dance was first presented at the Littlest Wiseman Pilgrimage in December 1980. It is dedicated to Mary D. and Howard Walsh, Lloyd Shaw Foundation members, to express appreciation for their graciousness and generosity, and for the joy they have given to so many people over the years.
