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

Good to hear this, Mike. I'm sure your encouragement had a lot to do with it.

When are you coming back? I'm missing the bear-hugs!

Luv

Rhiannon

They probably have to dance to avoid freezing!

Congrats to the kid.

Mikee, I met Owen when I was up your way. He's a helluva good dancer.
Good luck to him, and if he needs a few lead for a couple of pubs in Belfast, let me know.
