What a tribute!  Thank you, Katherine.

[Bruce Wall]

Surely a hard act for anyone to follow.

Incredibly.  I don't envy anyone running that search!

[Douglas Allen]

Thank you for the information, Ms Barber. Karen Kain and the NBOC have been linked for so long, I don't think I ever thought the two would be separated! I can't imagine how, and with whom, she will be replaced. En passant, the story brought to mind memories of how good a dancer she was and then, unusually, becoming an equally sound director. A remarkable career.

The Board certainly has big shoes to fill over there as it looks for a replacement.  I seem to recall Tamara Rojo doing some time "under instruction" with Karen Kain ........ just sayin', as I believe they say these days.

Since ENB and NBOC share three leading dancers already and Rojo was, I believe, born in Canada, one way forward is pretty obvious! ! ! ! !
