| NAME: Lindy We were at an event a few years ago (I think it was Boogie Woogie in Ft. Lauderdale) and they were having a contest for choreography on the spot. When they made the teams, Bucky and I were on the same team. When we were trying to work out some moves, he grabbed my hand and pulled it down to grab the fanny of the 'pro choreographer' assigned to our group and then stood back pointing and laughing, making everyone think I had grabbed his butt on my own!!!!!!! :-) |
| NAME: Sandy Burbage I always laughed about the crazy way he was always putting his hat on sideways and turning his head to get in to it. Dance Floor won't be the same without his smile and crazy things he did. He will be missed by all. Sandy |
| NAME: Lori In 2000, my girlfriends and I decided to go to the Line Dance Marathon. This was our first one and we were so excited and also overwhelmed! We had been taking workshops all weekend and thought that there was not possibly one thing more that would fit into our memory banks. That Saturday night at the dance party, we saw you and Bucky and we learned one more dance move that we still laugh about and simulate to this day. He was dancing behind you, Carol, and took his cowboy hat off and started, as we call it, "fanning his crotch". We still laugh about that and every now and then, one of us will stick it in a dance somewhere and we all start laughing! |
| NAME: Paul C Goodman The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. |
| NAME: David E Preble July 4th weekend in Vermont is pretty quiet(dull). There isn't much to do, except in a small redneck town on the side of a mountain called "Bristol". They have the biggest parade in Vermont, but before that is the ever popular "outhouse race". Well, the night before Bucky, Carol and neighbor/friend David were bored so we went to the local pub for a few brews. After a few, David suggested he had heard Willard Scott was going to be in Bristol covering the outhouse race! So, Bucky, Carol and David piled in a vehicle and drove 12 miles to Bristol looking for Willard. They started at the only bar in town (No Knees), had a couple of brews and were told outright that Willard had not been there, so they then went over ot the American Legion. After obtaining a round of drinks, Bucky went to the mens room, on his return he passed four men playing pool. They were quite serious had a stash of money on the table and were down to about six balls...........upon which Bucky picked them up and started to juggle!!! Needless to say, Bucky, Carol and David left Bristol without seeing Willard! |
| NAME: Nettie Manzo When I first met Bucky at semimars I thought "What an odd little fellow, always fooling around" then after going to these seminars for years got the point that would specifically look for him and watch some of the "antics" but still hit the beat and the correct wall of the dances. Always the smile, always the "free spirit". Seemed like he just enjoyed life. |
| NAME: Doug Westerlund Bucky and Carol Craven would occasionally come to the old Buck Wild Night Club in Lakeland Fl U.S.A. with a road trip of other fun dancers from the Tampa/St.Pete area and dance the night away.... On one occasion in particular, one of my dancers who did not know Bucky saw him doing his usual antics while dancing to one of the songs and she came over to me with a real worried look on her face and asked what that man was doing out there on the dance floor..... I asked her to watch his footwork and tell me if he was out of step with the other dancers ..... She looked for a little while and then exclaimed, " Oh my gosh " he is really in step with all of the other dancers...I laughed and told her she was right, and that that man was a very clever dancer with a very clever mind and certainly added a different dimension to the dance floor !!!!!! I will always remeber him for that and will always treasure that memory of him..... Doug Westerlund |
| NAME: Mike McKenzie It was always very entertaining watching Stacy's reaction to one of Bucky's antics as they danced side by side so often. He would always make her smile or "crack up", and then she would "return the favor" by doing something funny of her own. They had a great rapport on the dance floor and realated so well while dancing. So whenever I see Stacy dancing I will always think of Bucky being there in spirit next to her. I am sure Stacy will always feel Bucky's lively spirit beside her. Mike McKenzie |
