carbro Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 We received this message via e-mail from a reader: The John Neff you might be referring to taught dance at Pacific University in Forest Grove Oregon I ran a search on Pacific University's website, but it turned up empty. If you're really motivated, you may want to phone the Arts department and see if they're able/willing to contact him on your behalf, researcher33. Link to comment
Kathy Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Thank you for the information - I'll follow up on the lead Link to comment
Bonnette Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I, too, am a former student of John Neff and have wanted to thank him many times for his excellent instruction. Hopefully the Pacific University lead will prove fruitful, Kathy; I e-mailed them a couple of weeks ago, but thus far have not received a reply. A current faculty member of the Academy of Fort Wayne Ballet responded to my e-mail, saying that though the Academy is, indeed, the school John Neff was associated with in the '50s and '60s, no one there now has either contact information for him or knowledge of where he went after leaving Fort Wayne. I sent an e-mail to the Joffrey Ballet, but have not yet heard back from them. It would really be lovely to be able to contact John Neff. Link to comment
