I remember how to do the Milliarty two step,
and have spend many many happy times at
Finnigans, first went there as a teen ager, and later with my husband( dancing was our
passion) for years, ,AlthoughI am widowed now I continued dancing at Finnigans until they
closed.I Did all my dancing medals there from
Bronze to Presedents award.Frank and Joan Gibson(Nee Finnigan) are held in the highest regard in the world of dance.I love them both
sadly Frank is now deceased
