Talented Tuesday: Florence Boe, Dancer

My maternal grandfather's sister Florence Kathleen Boe (22 November 1909 - 19 October 1992) was a dancer. She began studying dance at the age of seven. She taught dance at the Hagen Conservatory in St. Louis, Missouri, and eventually had her own dance studio. She was involved in opera and theatrical productions.
