Hugh Johnston |
Hugh and Helen's daughters and their husbands, with Caller Keith Rippeto and Cuer Charlie Hearn |
The Hugh Johnston Special was a great success with Caller Keith Rippeto and Cuer Charlie Hearn. There were 95 western dancers that enjoyed the afternoon, including several from the Cleveland-Akron area. Hugh Johnston was the Hicks and Chicks Club Caller from 1972 until his death in 1996. Hugh and Helen were the owners of Sunny Acres Farm where the Hicks and Chicks still dance. The farm now belongs to his family who were also in attendance Sunday afternoon, and talked with others about Hugh and Helen. Remember the "Fire Drill" call, it was used several times that afternoon. One of Hugh's favorite sayings "Square dancing is a contact sport".
