The Winter 2020 USTCC newsletter theme is Surviving and Thriving with Tai Chi in Interesting Times. Dr. Rebecca Pope faces the challenge squarely in Tai Chi, Holistic Exercise for Interesting Times. USTCC Vice-President Denise Murray looks on the bright side in There’s Never Been a Better Time to Teach Tai Chi. Christine Morgan provides an informative piece on the significance of the Chinese New Year in Year of the Rat. On a sad note, Libby Hill has authored a moving Remembrance of Lynne Leffel. USTCC President Johnny Packard closes the newsletter with reflections on An Extra Day in Paradise. Sprinkled throughout are submissions from five USTCC 2019 scholars: Anne Plyler, new USTCC Board member Toni Dixon, Christine Suruda, Irina Tarbeeva, and Mary Ann Browning. Nice work all!
