2007 Gypsy of the Year
At the 2007 Gypsy of the Year awards original cast members
of "West Side Story" joined current Broadway gypsies in an
amazing and historical opening number celebrating the 50th
anniversary of the show. If you were there, here it is
again, with a bonus rehearsal video. (almost better than
the real thing). If you weren't there, please enjoy.
Video does not do it justice--but it's still phenomenal.

Saving our Heritage, One Story at a Time!
Words from the Wise is in the process of a nationwide
search to collect stories from the 50+ generations and
publish them in a book. We want to chronicle the wisdom of
the most experienced people. Whether it's your story or the
story of your parents or grandparents, we want to hear it!
Read about the project: http://www.wordsfromthewise.net/
We're looking for stories in the areas of:
Legacy
Inspiration
Personal Achievement
Discovery and Inventions
Generations of Globalization

We expect many of the stories will make us feel good,
however, we are not simply looking for 'feel good' stories.
We want to know what really happened for you, for your
family, or for your community. Your contributions will shed
light on the human condition and weave a tapestry of a
generation through personal stories. We anticipate your
stories will create a sense of connection to humanity,
inspiration for life, gratitude for our current living
conditions, and hope that it's never too late to make a
difference.
