Bob Clelland, Class of '58, married two years ago to his high school sweetheart, Joyce DeVore-Hoover, Class of '60, has been teaching ballroom dance for the last 50 years. He is also a retired Methodist Minister. He is a licensed Arthur Murray and Fred Astaire master instructor. He moved back to Quincy from Glasford, IL, which is in the Peoria area, two years ago and he now has a ballroom studio in his basement and teaches private lessons to couples. His first exhibition dance in Quincy several years ago was at Sunset Home, so he was compelled to attend the Sunset Home 120th Anniversay Celebration. He enjoys bringing back memories to the senior residents by dancing with them.
