Stuart Hodes, born in New York City, US, 1924. “I remember Pearl Harbor very well. My brother and I were in the kitchen, and we jumped up and down in excitement. I wanted to be a pilot so I joined up aged 17. I almost missed the war; when I got to Italy, we were two months from the end. It was great to come home, see my folks and go back to college. Long story short I became a dancer. I signed up for a month of lessons with Martha Graham. I stayed a dancer most of my life. Until I was 85. When you fly, you’re magically taken away from the everyday world. When you dance, the same thing happens”. (Photo and caption by Sasha Maslov)
