From Sue Tabashnik’s Dedication in The Fans’ Love Story ENCORE
To Mr. Patrick Swayze,
who is still inspiring – helping me through challenging times and motivating me to follow my dreams. I am so grateful to have met you, to have your wonderful legacy of work to enjoy, and to have your amazing spirit – whose light shines so bright – as such an inspiration.
About Sue Tabashnik
Sue Tabashnik published two unique Dirty Dancing tribute books, The Fans’ Love Story: How the Movie DIRTY DANCING Captured the Hearts of Millions! (July 2010) and The Fans’ Love Story ENCORE: How the Movie DIRTY DANCING Captured the Hearts of Millions! (December 2013). She became a fan of Patrick Swayze in 1988. She was an active member of the Official Patrick Swayze International Fan Club from 2000-2010, which included writing numerous articles for the club magazine. She had the good fortune to meet Patrick Swayze several times at movie screenings and benefit events from 2002-2004, which led her to become an even bigger fan. Sue has worked as a master’s level social worker since 1977. She has lived most of her life in the Detroit area.
In memory of my grandmother, Leah Tabashnik, and Patrick Swayze: A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Patrick Swayze Pancreas Cancer Research Fund at the Stanford Cancer Institute.
