Remembrances

I’m not sure if he ever joined Diablo Dancers, but he did dance with us starting in early 1994. He self-taught himself square dancing to the point of being able to dance at class level. I know he was the organist/pianist for the Diablo Valley MCC, and he was married to a woman from the church, who died of AIDS in the early 90s. Zack was living with AIDS himself and took his own life in 1994. Bob Frame had a badge made for him for the Memorial Panel.

He was a good friend, a musician and composer and a great self-taught square dancer.
