Pledge drive feature—Daddy Daughter Dance

During the Spring 2008 pledge drive, WVPE listeners got a chance to hear one of last year’s most popular pieces, Jeff Nixa’s story of the Daddy Daughter Dance:

There’s a little girl over there, eleven years old, sitting alone in her new dress at the daddy daughter dance.  She looks like she’s eating her two cookies.  But she’s really watching the other girls dancing under the balloons with the men.  “May I have this dance?” I ask the girl.  She gets busy with her cookies.  “Not now, dad.”

Read the rest.
