Art is a medical technologist; working in the lab at Fort Meade VA Hospital in Sturgis SD. Linda is the medical secretary for the Director’s Office Fort Meade. They joined the DTDC in November 2004. While Art grew up in the Newell area, he was born in Germany coming to this area when he was five. Linda grew up in the Sturgis area. They’ve been dancing approximately twenty-five years and prefer Country Western & 60s style music; but really enjoy most types of music. We enjoy dancing for its benefits; good exercise, socializing & listening pleasure. Our favorite dance events were going to the Halloween Costume parties at the Ft. Meade Rec. Hall. Our most memorable dance was a spotlight dance at a karaoke bar in a little town in Washington State. We stopped in as we were traveling back to South Dakota after a trip sailing Puget Sound. Practically the whole town was in this little bar, singing, dancing and having great fun.
