Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and we also celebrated our beautiful dancer Lindsay Benson Garrett’s birthday.  It was a true double happiness.  What a very special day for all of us at GDC.  Today as we celebrate Lindsay’s birthday, we remember the fond memories we all shared one year ago today.
