Gillian Gregory, Shelagh Miller Woods & Betty Fox in Aberdeen
Shelagh Miller Woods played hostess this past week, to old friends. A past business partner and a companion dancer and choreographer.
They came to visit a very dear friend and toured the Cape and the Karoo with much enjoyment. Betty Fox, who was Shelagh’s partner in the business of training dancers for London shows, and Gillian Gregory who danced in Broadway shows and had the distinction of being the first English Choreographer to win a ‘Tony Award’ in New York at the Marquis Theatre on Broadway for "For Me and My Girl" in 1987, were our V.I.P. guests this week.
Shelagh and Betty have known Gillian since she was 18 years old, and as they are all now retired it has been a long friendship.
Shelagh, who recently celebrated her 80th birthday, drove to Cape Town on her own from Aberdeen to collect Betty and Gillian from the airport. The three friends then toured around the Cape, guided by Lucy Graham. They visited Robbin Island, Knysna Heads, the well known Sedgefield Market, saw wildlife at Addo Elephant Park, and tomorrow they drive to Port Elizabeth on there way back to Teba in Spain for Betty and to Shropshire in England for Gillian. They have thoroughly enjoyed their South African experience, and being here in Aberdeen with Shelagh.
