Mrs. D

With great sadness, we are reporting the death of a true inspiration and mentor, Mrs. Adeline Duncan. A superb, dedicated and passionate Highland Dance teacher here in Victoria, Mrs. D taught every single one of the highland dancers in the Watling/Troy clan, spanning a number of generations.
James W. started taking highland dancing as therapy for an operation which turned into a long standing relationship with both Mrs D and her husband, Ian - eventually resulting in piping lessons from Ian. That spawned many years spent in her studio playing for her dancers as well as a formation of a true friendship.
Her spirit, candidness and pure honesty were always appreciated and have influenced our lives in many, many ways. We can only thank her for the number of years of lessons, encouragement, strength and tenacity.
She will be missed.
