Chat De Pas

Paul Sutherland and Brunilda Ruiz were at the memorial service for George Tomal last night. Although I didn't have a chance to talk at length with them, they both looked well. Such kind and caring people.

I studied with Paul at New Jersey Ballet School at the same time that I was taking class with Mr. Tomal. It always gave me a reason to get through my day at work, and I looked forward so much to going to class in the evenings!

Two really classy gentlemen.

George Tomal - "Mr. Tomal" to his devoted and loving students - died on Monday, February 11, 2008.
