From Connie and Joe: In 2018, Dwan and my dad came out to visit for Christmas and New Year’s. Cirque du Soleil was in San Francisco, so we got tickets and headed out. So much for sunny California – that day was one of our rainiest days! It was pouring and pouring, and the parking…
From Susan and Clay: We love how Dwan was always so enthusiastic and encouraging!
