Loretto was my mother's cousin.I even took tap dancing lessions from "Lorie". I remember the orginal dance studio on Marquette Ave. I also used to mop the floor when the studio moved to Jarmuth Hall on Commerical Ave.Then it moved to South Chicago Ave. I remember family events with Dina, Christine and Mimi and Aunt Pearl and all the AUNTIES. My deepest sympathy. Gene

I was a student of 'Miss' Rozak in the early 50's. I can still remember the excitement of those recitals!

One of my memories of Aunt Loretto is of her smoking cigarettes with her long cigarette holders. She was a marvelous dancer & teacher.
