A young man from Anchorage that I have known and watched improve his Irish dancing over the past 10 years recently won the North American Irish Dance Championship. Owen Barrington will compete in the All Ireland competition and then the World Championships in Belfast. He will also be joining the touriing company of Riverdance next spring.

I just thought I would share a bit of good news about one of our youngsters here in Alaska.

Best wishes,
Mike
