Toni Wallace, Executive Director of the Family Support Center of the Mid-Peninsula (FSCMP), received a call that her agency's Connect Family Resources Center had been destroyed by a fire started in an adjacent dumpster.

"A wonderful friend who freely, joyfully and expertly taught us all how to dance."


Please email your thoughts and reflections to memory@epa.net to create a Memory Book for the Casquelourd family.

Dear friends,

I knew Malonga Casquelourd for over 25 years since he first came to East Palo Alto and taught Congolese dance and drums. I was there when we used the abandoned Ravenswood High School from 1977-1979. He was a very dear man and a wonderful f riend who freely, joyfully and expertly taught us all how to dance.
