In the beginning, Yvonne and Richard each had been widowed twice and both chose to move forward; being active in their community. Unknowingly, both approached two ballroom dance instructors, Ruth and Sal Algeri looking for a partner who would like to learn ballroom dancing. Yvonne had one requirement, her partner had to be taller than she. Sal followed up with Richard to see how tall he was which was one inch taller than Yvonne. At the April 11 2024 ballroom dance lesson they began what has turned out to be a loving relationship filled with joy, happiness and excitement, sharing their lives together. Still stepping on each other's toes occasionally but confident they will succeed!
