Frankie Manning with One2Swing Jitterbugs, ALHC 2008
Ben: "I will always remember your infections smile and I will always be thankful for your tireless energy. You brought so much to so many lives and to this dance you dearly love so much. Thank you Frankie. Rest in peace. And though you will be missed, you will happily live forever in every swingout."
Sheri: "I cannot describe how grateful I am for Frankie Manning...our legendary ambassador of Lindy hop. He inspired so many and brought so much joy and happiness to this world in his almost 95 years. May he rest peacefully knowing his legacy will live on through all of us."

I AM LINDY HOP - be a part of Lindy Hop history!
My "World Lindy Hop Community" website is now up. Please come visit I AM LINDY HOP, add your picture to the collage, add your story whatever it is to the registry. No story too small! And come and read other people's stories. This site has been running around in my head for awhile and I decided to kick myself in the butt a bit to launch it during "Frankie week" as my own contribution to the celebration of Lindy Hop
