INJURED BOSTON DANCER'S FUND: Our sister USA DANCE Chapter in Boston told us about a couple of Boston-area dancers -- Adrianne Haslet-Davis, a dance instructor with Arthur Murray, and her husband, Air Force Captain Adam Davis -- who were injured in the second blast at the Boston Marathon. Adrianne lost her left foot, but vows to dance again.
A fund has been established in Adrianne's name:  www.gofundme.com/AdrianneFund
