While we were in Florida, we were party guests at the Florida School for the Deaf, hosted by the Jr.
N.A.D. chapter. During the party, there was a dance contest called Freeze Dance, or something like
that, and while dancing there would be a signal to freeze. People would try to "unfreeze" the dancing
couples by making them laugh or draw their attention. According to Louise, she and Lewis won the
                                                                 contest.
