It sounds like a loss for Glen Echo, but a gain for the Mt. Vernon Trail
Last month, Fowler was unexpectedly reassigned to the Mount Vernon
Trail in Virginia, a job he began Wednesday, and Glen Echo Park lost
the man who had been the heart and soul of its community dances for
more than 30 years.
Park Service officials have decided that Fowler, an avid biker, is more valuable on the high-traffic Mount Vernon Trail than in the ballroom
At his new post, Fowler will help keep the peace between the bikers, joggers, walkers and stroller-pushers who frequent the trail.
Fowler commutes by bike to Glen Echo from his home in Takoma Park. He dances ballet, writes poetry and often speaks in quotations, citing the thoughts of dancers, poets, politicians and scientists.
