I met met my friend Mary in 1997, at Knightsbridge Apartments in Kcmo we hit it off from the get go we both love music and loved to dance. We went to Star light theater to see Tony Bennett and the KC Symphony, it was the perfect evening in the mid 70s low humidity for summer in KC and not a cloud in the sky the stars were glistening I will never forget that night with my best friend. I love you Mary and I will see you later on the big dance floor in heaven Anita Dewey and Robb Dewey
