Biography (note)

1. The "Festival Ballet" of the title may signify Manhattan Festival Ballet, a dance company founded by Ron Sequoio and Robert Ossorio in New York City in 1963, with James De Bolt among its charter members. The company survived, however, only until 1970, so "Festival Ballet" more likely indicates the Festival Ballet of San Antonio, which Sequoio and De Bolt founded in the mid-1970s. The artist Margaret Putnam (not to be confused with the Texas-based dance critic of the same name) first exhibited her works in San Antonio in 1956, and won numerous awards for her art from various Texan organizations over the years.
