Heartsick over the news of Laurie Byrds passing. Laurie, and her husband Michael, founded the Florida Ballet Theatre at Jacksonville, and in those early days the company was truly amazing: classically trained dancers doing experimental, fresh and exciting work. Laurie could, in one breath, be aggravating and glorious as she never wavered from her eye-on-the-ball focus on artistic excellence, her dancers and her students. She was one of the architects of the arts community that we have today. If it is true that we stand on the shoulders of giants, Laurie was one of those giants.
