Dancer in the Light: biography of Gerda 'Pytt' Geddes

I just got back from class and received this lovely message below from Frank Woods, who used to attend my Thusday Class in Aberdeenshire with his partner Julie. He has just completed his biography of Gerda Geddes, who was the first teacher of T'ai Chi in the UK. I hope to get along to his launch in London and look forward to reading the book.

"At last the biography is finished and is being launched on 20th July at The Place, the home of the London Contemporary Dance School, where Gerda taught tai chi for over 25 years. All welcome, so please come along if you can, and pass the word around. All the details plus lots of info about the book are at http://www.gerdageddes.com/

I'm also talking about the book at TC Caledonia on Saturday evening 12th July, but I see from the blog that our paths are unlikely to cross there.

I enjoy logging on to the webpage from time to time and seeing the familiar faces. Happy greetings to any who remember me (and Julie who's just completed her 4 year stint at Aberdeen art school)"
