DANCE HISTORY
I competed against Dennis "Bucky" Buckner in Salt Lake City in 1992.
After the "vanillas" in the first dance, I went into my variations and
Bucky just froze in place with a lost look on his face. Since then
anytime anyone did this while dancing you would hear someone shout
"Their Doin' the Bucky!". Dennis was killed late in 1994 while
crossing a street in Salt Lake City. We will miss him.
