Warren Kubitschek, known as the "Gentle Giant", was an indispensible planner and coordinator for DCFF and my friend. Warren helped me deal with many tough planning and scheduling issues. I miss him greatly.  Warren was the director of the Spatter Dash Orchestra, which played for DCFF, Ethnic Dance Chicago, the Madison Folk Ball, and the Fox Valley (Illinois) Folk Festival.  He was widely recognized in midwestern folk dance circles, as the tallest person around. Warren, you are missed!
