Yesterday at UCLA Medical Center, our friend Lowell Smith died after a bout with lung cancer.
He was 56 years old, or at least that's what he was admitting to. Lowell and I had a unique friendship. I was one of the few people to know him after his dancing career. He still had a dance career as choreographer and ballet master. But, I met him after he retired from dancing himself.
I was fortunate to spend a couple of weeks with him in L.A. before he went into the hospital. Those weeks were some of the best I've had.
This still is from some footage I shot while we were together. Hopefully, I can edit something meaningful from it.
