Josh Foster, a Castro Valley teenager, traveled with his family on Thursday to check out the show. He gave it an enthusiastic two thumbs up. “There’s nothing corny about it,” he said. “It’s pretty awesome.”. BetGeorge, 35, has two jobs; he’s contemporary music director at Centerville Presbyterian Church in Fremont and a teacher at Oakland’s Conservatory of Vocal and Instrumental Arts. Yet he found time to craft the light show over the past two years using some two miles of power cable wires and 100,000 light bulbs.

“Let’s just say I had to eat ramen for a couple of months to afford it,” he said, BetGeorge has used the show’s sudden fame to raise money for charity, His video (available at www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5dfpe_-Lgg) has a PayPal link for contributions, pale pink paper pointe shoes - pink paper ballet shoes - shoe ornament - ballet gift - ballet shoes - ballerina gifts - paper ba He also encourages visitors to drop money, clothing or food in a donation box he puts outside his house during performances, “What Jesus said in the Bible more often than anything was that we should help the poor,” said BetGeorge, “I wanted to use what I have to raise money and help the needy, That’s Christmas to me.”..

The first is Lillian Gong-Guy, who was dedicated to promoting and preserving Chinese-American history and culture in the Santa Clara Valley. Born in China, she was co-founder of the Chinese Historical and Cultural Project, a local group formed in 1987. Lillian was a guiding force and ongoing supporter of the group’s first major project, the Chinese-American Historical Museum at History Park in San Jose. The ornate edifice — Ng Shing Gung — replicates the original 1888 community center and house of worship that stood in San Jose.

Another of Lillian’s lasting legacies concerns the many artifacts recovered from the site of the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, which was built atop San Jose’s first pale pink paper pointe shoes - pink paper ballet shoes - shoe ornament - ballet gift - ballet shoes - ballerina gifts - paper ba Chinatown, More than 1,000 people lived in that community until a fire destroyed it in 1887, Thanks to Lillian’s efforts, the items recovered during the hotel’s construction in the mid-1980s now have a permanent home at the Stanford University Archaeological Center, a mecca for any person interested in the history of the Chinese in America..

Without a doubt, Lillian was one of the most elegant women I’ve ever known. She was always dressed to perfection, neatly coiffed and so gracious. It was my great fortune when close pal Mary Gottschalk introduced us at a social gathering some years back. I was thrilled to finally meet Lillian — a person I knew to be a generous patron of the arts. For a variety of reasons, Lillian reminded me of Kitty Carlisle Hart, a lovely lady I had the pleasure meeting on two occasions. Like Carlisle Hart, Lillian possessed a commanding presence. But you never felt overshadowed, or insignificant. And both women had the ability — let’s say it’s a gift — to listen to others. Nowadays, that quality seems to be an uncommon trait.

And then there’s Peggy Elgart, Born into a prominent family from San Francisco, Peggy was perky and unflappable — a giving person who was always considerate of others, I first met Peggy at Montalvo, that fabulous mansion (now an arts center) built into the Saratoga hills, On that rainy November day she said, “Steve, would you like to come over and see my antiques?” She quickly followed up with, “If you do, I’ll make us tea.” I couldn’t refuse, While giving me directions, Peggy said, “I’ll leave the gate open for you, Steve.” Truthfully, I envisioned an old-fashioned white picket fence leading to a cottage, Instead, I saw a huge gate before a circular driveway, Beyond lay a majestic brick house surrounded by guest pale pink paper pointe shoes - pink paper ballet shoes - shoe ornament - ballet gift - ballet shoes - ballerina gifts - paper ba cottages, a pool, big garage and more, And, as I would soon view, it contained a wonderful array of treasures..

We hit it off. Peggy and I got to visit once or twice each year, and we corresponded frequently. In those letters, Peggy shared news about her precious family — she was a devoted wife, mother to four children, and a doting grandmother. Active in organizations including the Saratoga Rotary Club, San Jose Masonic Center and Montalvo, Peggy made time to tap dance. I’m sorry that I did not get to any of her performances, but Peggy was hoofing it close to the time of death at age 85. Peggy, like most of us, had a life with its share of ups and downs. Still, she remained positive. Peggy was a trouper. I’ll miss her.

Like Peggy, Betty Barnacle Dillane was a fiery redhead from pale pink paper pointe shoes - pink paper ballet shoes - shoe ornament - ballet gift - ballet shoes - ballerina gifts - paper ba San Francisco, Betty was one of the first female reporters in the business, She started her career at the San Francisco Call-Bulletin before moving to the San Jose News, later the San Jose Mercury News, I got to know Betty, a lady with an amazingly lyrical voice and a sweet disposition, when she worked as the cops reporter at police headquarters in San Jose, Ultra-feminine and “dressed to the nines,” Betty held her own with the likes of criminals and lawbreakers, A pit bull when it came to getting the facts, she always got her story..
