This is the second year that my friend Carol and I attended the Swing Dance at Sunnybrook Ballroom in Pottstown, this past Friday evening. Back in the thirties and forties, the Big Bands - Glen Miller, Jimmie Dorsey, Harry James and the rest - included Sunnybrook on their tours.

Funds raised by this affair are used by the organizers to transport World War II veterans by bus to Washington D.C. to visit the WWII Memorial. So far, several hundred vets from this area have made the trip, escorted by volunteers. Carol, like me, a little kid during that war, has made the trip via a separate group, Honor Flight.

The music was terrific; the food – covered by the ticket charge - consisted of a tiny handful of chips and pretzels and one soda, not a big deal since I knew what they use the money for.
