Enchanting

tree BY ALICE TREXLER, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR AND DIRECTOR OF THE DANCE PROGRAM, TUFTS UNIVERSITY
It's difficult to imagine that Tony has left his physical form. Wouldn't he be delighted to know how he lives on in these many tributes and memories?

I will always recall Tony as a willing collaborator in some of my "experimental" dance - theater productions of the nineties. I'm not so sure that he totally approved of my non-linear approach, but he took on the coaching of the "speeches" with great enthusiasm. Another of his endearing qualities is the time he took to greet everyone in the most enchanting ways no matter the time of day or his pressing business. I still miss his witty remarks at department meetings too. I'll end by sending great sympathy to Tony's many friends and to his family.
