"My dad, Robert Dance of Salem, didn’t have children until I came as a surprise when he was 51. I am Katie Dance. He has devoted a lot of time to me in sports, including soccer, T-ball, basketball and softball. He even helps with coaching. Sometimes he takes me to my 4-H or Scout meetings. He always makes time for me. I’m so glad he’s my dad." Sent by grandma Dorothy Conkle of Salem.
