BILL OLSON SEZ:

Notes: 

*inactives cross through the actives is like a 1/4 figure eight. #2
women cross through first and face up outside of active women, #2 men next and
face up outside active men. It's actually a very smooth move. This is yet
another try at a contra corners dance with equality for the inactives. 

At the North Whitefield dance in Feb 1996, Evan, a 9 year old boy, was asleep
for most of the dance. When he awoke someone had cleaned up the hall and taken
his shoes away. He was spending the night in South Harpswell at David Kaynor's
family cottage and was not pleased at having to make the trip (in February)
barefooted! Composed Feb 24, 1996. 

I like smooth reels for this one. Trip to Durrow (D), Miss Monaghan's (G), and
Barrowburn (D) work nicely.
