Sheila Ross directed a ballet school in Saint John, New Brunswick when I was a child in the 1970's. Eventually I opened a ballet school in Saint John in the 1990's, and Sheila was a very special friend and mentor. Among other gifts from Sheila was a simple black skirt, which we refer to as a "Bach Skirt". This particular Bach Skirt has a name tag sewn on the waistband that says "Lorna Ross" - which makes it extra special.
