Romney Tannehill
Romney Tannehill's passion for square dancing began as a child at the encouragement of his parents. He transitioned into calling and soon became the club caller for Ozark Whirlers in Eldon, Missouri at the age of 15. He continued to call and conduct classes, workshops, and dances in Missouri and nearby states before moving to Southern California in 1993. In late 2020, he moved back to his hometown of Eldon, Missouri. He still calls full-time and occasionally travels back to California to call. He retains his joy and enthusiasm for calling for everyone and anyone, always expressing gratitude for square dancing.
Laura McDaniel was interviewed on Spotlight Chicago, and she taught the hosts a couple calls in the first segment. Then North Shore Squares came out and did a demo in the second segment. Here is the link to the segment:
