In Memory of Liz Fitzpatrick 1930-2014...Growing Up During WWII & the Swing Era

Elizabeth Fitzpatrick speaks to middle schoolers on 4/9/2010 about growing up during WWII & the Swing Era, about her time in the Women's Army Corps, and about being a dancer. Four years ago, a middle school asked Swing Time to create a cultural/educational program for their students who were studying the World War II era. Knowing that Liz had grown up during that era and had joined the Army as part of the WACs (Women's Army Corps) after WWII, we asked her to be the featured speaker at this program, and she graciously accepted. It became an annual event and she spoke to the kids for four consecutive years. "There are two ways to journey through life. You can march or you can dance. I have done both. Choose to dance."
