Hi guys I just wanted to share with you what a great night I had tonight. 26 years ago I joined a group of young people who formed a group called Mladez at our local Croatian club and we did the traditional croation folk dancing. We were the original ones to start at our club and since then there have been many more to join and continue over the years. Tonight we had a reunion and boy what a reunion is was. It was so good to see these people again. We also had the original band which used to play each Saturday at our Club who have wonderful voices. It brought back so many memories. They also put on a floor show with the latest Mladez who preformed the same dances we did so many years ago. After the floor show all the original Mladez were invited up to dance the same dance and boy we didnt forget. It was a great night with alot of dancing and laughing etc and we've taken a video so we can all have a copy to remember our night. I justed wanted to share my night with you all! . Only one thing I know when I wake up in the morning this poor old body is not going to feel too well. I used muscles that I forgot I had. Anyway good night all. PS: If you've never been to a Croatian club for a night out make sure you try and make it, we do know how to have a good time and our songs are the most beautiful you will hear in the world.

Mary, thanks for sharing the joy of Croatian heritage with me. I recently joined this site because of my deep interest in Croatian geneology and culture. My grandmother--maiden name Ann Srsen--came from Gruda in Dalmatia. She lived in the Bronx, New York until her death in her 90s. Unfortunately I was too young at her time to gather any personal information from her about her youth and family in Croatia. So here I am doing research on the internet. Thanks again. Bob Morsut PS "Morsut" is the Furlan surname of her husband and my grandfather.. The Furlans are an ethnic minority primarily in northern Italy.
