Arthur A. Munisteri, distinguished lawyer and enthusiastic country dancer, died August 4th, 2019, in Northampton MA, after a lengthy illness. He was 80. He was an avid English, Contra, and Morris dancer, a sought-after waltz partner, and a proud member of the Greenwich Morris Men and Pinewoods Folk Music Club in New York City. He sang for many years in the New York Christmas Revels, and later in the Cambridge MA Christmas Revels. Arthur was well-known for his vast repertoire of literary references, funny stories, and recall of the details of everything he had ever read.
