Richard Dance Legacy
. . . the whole mess
Why a legacy site?
The world is a gumbo. It's made up of what we put into it. Each of us has an obligation to load in the best ingredients from our time here, from what we have lived and learned. Some folks add to the world stew through their own works, others by stirring the creative juices in their children and others. I never had kids to pass my recipes down to, so let this site become the big pot for anyone to savor all the stuff I've cooked up over the years.
"You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough."
Mae West
I always loved learning, studying, researching, and risk-taking in various fields, and I’ve been a serial adventurer my whole life. Folks from all over the planet inspired the diverse life that unfolded for me, and I wanted to do the same for others. The site links you to things I have contributed to knowledge, music, culture, and the helping professions. I am not famous or wealthy, just one of millions of folks spread out across America who happen to have a creative, enterprising spirit. There's a lot to draw from my decades on the planet, so take advantage. The story begins with my years as an EXPATRIATE.
