AN: Oh me! Oh my! First, thank you for those who are still reading. Life comes at us so fast that we can only do what we can. And because of that I've had to abandon my stories. That doesn't me that I never thought about them or they weren't on my mind at many moments though the day. That being said, I will not be able to continue with ANY of my stories. I am deeply sorry for this and WISH that I could have continued. I thank you for the support and kindness.

For those of you who were interested in where things were going here's a bit of an outline. Please remember that this time brought GREAT happiness, but also great loss.
*Tracy's parents pass away in a car accident a month after the last chapter is set. Early March 1965.
*The gang reunites for a Corny Collins Show reunion and some members are gone, but not forgotten. Some have gone by choice and moved to other parts of the world, and others, because of war.
**Tracy and Link- After Tracy's parents pass away they adopt Matilda. She has their first, Hugo. Link and Seaweed start their own record label, Skylark Records. Both the label and Link become VERY successful taking on rising stars and lasting idols. Tracy continues to teach dance and is content doing so. She occasionally choreographs for the record label. She has blossomed into a loving wife and mother. They have one more child, Annelise.
**Penny and Seaweed- While happy with their marriage Penny feels a bit empty and decides that taking photos is what she loves. She also begins to change and embrace and love the woman she becomes. A bit of a hippy to be honest. She enlists Amber's help and becomes lead photographer for the local paper. All the meanwhile making a name for herself as a legitimate photographer and having shows in NYC, where they eventually relocate. Seaweed and Link start their own record label, Skylark Records. Both the label and Seaweed become VERY successful taking on rising stars and lasting idols. They have four more children, Patrick (who was 1st,) Stephan, Piper, Stella and Penelope.
**Amber and Corny- Amber graduates and comes home. She starts at the local paper and eventually makes it to Editor-in-Chief. She has become more Jackie O than Marilyn. She also does freelance on occasion for a revolutionary women's magazine, Cosmopolitan. Corny takes over the station and eventually sells it. They live VERY comfortably and happily. They get married and have 3 children. Annabelle, Kristopher and Michael. One named after Kris who died in Vietnam after going as a photo journalist.
**Maybelle finds romance again with an older gentleman who admired her from afar. They don't marry, but live together very contentedly.
**Inez moves to NYC with Seaweed and Penny and dances her way to Broadway.
