Before I leave my story and move on to Cleveland, I have to give note to another dancer that I worked with on 8th Ave. before and during my time there. Yildiz and I were friends and probably the sweetest of them all and a strong dancer.
Afet was Turkish and before my time. I knew many more but this story would never end.
I met a Belly Dancer in Cleveland,Ohio many years ago.I believe she knew Bob Pappas,John Angelou and Steve Paterakis,are you that Zeyna?
Hi Pete,
This is Neenah, one of her students. It has been several months since I have had contact with Zeyna. When I hear from her, I will let her know about your inquiry.
Hi Neenah,thanks for your reply.After seeing pictures of Zeyna I know it is the same person I met many years ago, very beautiful and one of the nicest persons you’ll ever meet. Unfortunately both clarinet players she worked with, Gus Sevastaki and Pete Halianis have passed, also John Angelou has passed. I don’t know if Zeyna remembers me, if she does it would be great to hear from her and how she is doing.Thanks again,Peter
