Margaret Tracey was born on March 28, 1967, in Pueblo, Colorado USA to the Honorable Judge John Royer Tracey and Nancy Mechling. Her father is a retired judge and her mother a dance teacher,. She has a younger sister, Kathleen, who also danced with New York City Ballet She has two older brothers, Bruce a professor at Cornell University's School of Hotel Management and Edward a professional chef. In 1996, she married Russell Kaiser, a fellow New York City Ballet dancer and they have two children.

 

Margaret Tracey began ballet studies with her mother, Nancy, at age six. In 1982, she was accepted as a student at the School of American Ballet (SAB), the official school of New York City Ballet (NYCB). At SAB, she was the recipient of an Atlantic Richfield Foundation scholarship (1982-85) as well as a Princess Grace Foundation award (1985-86) that cited her “exceptional promise and dedication to excellence”.

 

In 1986, Margaret joined the New York corps de ballet (NYCB), launching a celebrated 16-year stage career. She was a Principal Dancer from 1991 until her retirement in 2002. She excelled in the Balanchine repertoire, appearing frequently in such core works as Apollo, Allegro Brilliante, Ballo della Regina, Concerto Barocco, Serenade, Square Dance, Symphony in C, Vienna Waltzes, Western Symphony, and Who Cares?, among others. She was also featured in a range of Robbins’ ballets, including Andantino, Afternoon of a Faun, The Four Seasons, and The Goldberg Variations, and created a role in the choreographer’s Ives, Songs (1988). She originated roles in works by William Forsythe, Richard Tanner, Ib Andersen, Trey McIntyre and Peter Martins, including his Les Petit Riens, Fearful Symmetries, Zakouski and his production of The Sleeping Beauty, in which she appeared both as Princess Aurora and Princess Florine. With NYCB, Tracey toured Europe and Asia, appeared in the PBS “Live from Lincoln Center” series, and danced the Marzipan Shepherdess in the 1993 film of Balanchine’s The Nutcracker.

 

As a Balanchine Repetiteur, Margaret has staged several of his works including, Concerto Barocco, Theme and Variations, Scotch Symphony, Raymonda Variations, and Divertimento #15, among others on both professional companies and schools.

 

Since her retirment from New York City Ballet in 2002, Margaret has become an admired and dedicated teacher and arts advocate. She joined the faculty of Boston Ballet School (BBS) in 2005 and served as the Director from 2007-2021. In that time, she has transformed this highly respected regional academy into one of the leading dance education institutions in North America. She was profiled in a 2009 issue of Dance Teacher Magazine. In 2011 she was recognized with a Jerome Robbins Foundation award for her distinguished interpretation as a Robbins’ dancer.

 

During her tenure at BBS, Tracey drew upon her teaching experiences, studies in psychology, and ties to community clinicians to initiate a comprehensive Wellness Program at BBS. She also created the Next Generation, a year-end performance showcasing pre-professional students, which has become an annual highlight that spotlights BBS as a leader in local and regional arts education. Her stature in the dance world brought BBS extraordinary access to the Balanchine and Robbins repertoire, enhancing the training and performance experience for students. In addition, Margaret committed to commissioning underrepresented voices in choreography by amplifying the work of women and BIPOC choreographers such as Jill Johnson, Lia Cirio and Ja’ Malik, among others. Margaret further distinguished BBS internationally by establishing exchange programs with Canada’s National Ballet School, Paris Opera Ballet School, the Royal Danish Ballet and Dresden’s Semperoper Ballet. And under her leadership, BBS also became a Partner School with the prestigious Prix de Lausanne international ballet competition.

 

Margaret Tracey continues to dedicate her efforts as a dance educator with a strong commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Access to champion change. In her final year at BBS, she implemented a mentorship program, Color Our Future (COF) for students to connect with professional dancers seeking racial equity in the field. She has served on panels for MoBBallet’s annual educational symposiums (2019 and 2020) and has worked with colleagues at Dance USA School Directors Affinity Group to share learning around culturally responsive teaching practices to better support faculty. Tracey’s work as an international arts educator continues as she serves on the organizing committee for World Ballet School Day (2020 and 2021), an event that brings together students from across the globe to highlight their voices and support the next generation of inspiring dance artists.

Kathleen Tracey, Repertory Director New York City Ballet (NYCB)

 

I grew up in southern Colorado, in a small town called Pueblo. I started [my training] in summer courses, with San Francisco Ballet, Ballet West, and then came out to the School of American Ballet and did two summer courses there; then I [enrolled full-time] for the winter. After graduating from SAB, I got into New York City Ballet, in 1987; I didn't have to apprentice for any portion of the time, I was just offered a contract, which was a little bit more common back when I was getting into the Company. I spent four and a half years in the corps [de ballet], and then I was promoted to soloist, and the year that I was promoted was the first time I ever got to perform Agon. So that was pretty cool. That was in 1993, for the [televised] Balanchine Celebration, which marked the 10-year anniversary of Mr. B's passing. We did 73 or 74 of his pieces in the spring season, so we only performed each ballet maybe three times over an eight-week season of just his works.

 

And then in 2002, I retired from the Company, but I had started staging ballets a couple of years before that and wanted to find out whether that was something that was interesting or something that was a prospect for me; it turned out I liked it, and it liked me. So I continued staging ballets. I think the first ballet I staged was Peter Martins' Fearful Symmetries, in France. Then Christopher Wheeldon asked me to stage some of his ballets, and the Robbins Trust hired me to learn their ballets and potentially stage them as well, within and without the Company. And then I finally got to stage a few Balanchine ballets here and there, outside of the Company, and got some experience, and all the while I was still associated with the Company as a kind of apprentice. That was when I got my apprenticeship—as a repertory director! So that's a little short nutshell version of the history of me here at City Ballet.

Please join us in welcoming Steel Crescent Kitchen to the Fuel & Iron Food Hall! Founded by Pueblo-raised chef Edward Tracey, Steel Crescent Kitchen will bring the thrilling flavors of New Orleans to Pueblo with Cajun-inspired sandwiches and fresh salads. After graduating from The Culinary Institute of America, Tracey worked at kitchens across the globe, cooking on six continents (including Antarctica). He returned to Pueblo in 2008, where he’s been a faculty member at Pueblo Community College since 2012, achieving the level of Certified Executive Chef with the American Culinary Federation in 2021. With delicious options like the Shrimp Po’ Boy and a classic Muffuletta, Steel Crescent Kitchen was inspired by the Arkansas River’s continuity as it runs through Pueblo, eventually spilling into the Mississippi and down to New Orleans.

27 Jun 2022 The Pueblo Chieftain

A New Orleans-style sandwich shop is the newest restaurant concept coming to Pueblo's Fuel & Iron Food Hall when it opens this fall at 400 S. Union Ave.

Steel Crescent Kitchen, a concept created by Chef Edward Tracey and his wife Dorothy, will feature an assortment of po' boys and a Muffuletta sandwich with salads and sides.

The concept debuted at a pop-up event on June 21 at Bingo Burger, 101 Central Plaza, with Tracey serving Shrimp Po' Boys with homemade potato chips and a Roasted Beet Carpaccio appetizer to a sold-out crowd.

To give the traditional New Orleans dish a bit of a Pueblo twist, Tracey's po'boys were made with Pueblo chile aioli and the beets were sourced locally from Milberger Farms.

Tracey, who has cooked on six continents and is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New York, said he created the concept for Steel Crescent Kitchen after hearing several requests for Cajun sandwiches at previous Fuel & Iron Food Hall pop-up events.

"A big chunk of them wanted Cajun sandwiches," he said. "I thought, ‘OK, great, I can do that. Get a good baguette, get excellent shrimp, get a good dredge and Pueblo chile, make aioli out of that — that's going to sell itself.’"

Tracey was born in Rocky Ford and raised in Pueblo. He is a Pueblo Centennial High School graduate who moved away from Pueblo but returned in 2008. In 2012, he became a faculty member in the culinary program at Pueblo Community College.

After PCC discontinued its culinary program earlier this year, Tracey was looking for work but didn't want to move to Colorado Springs or Denver.

He jumped at the opportunity to be part of the upcoming food hall.

"The opportunity to start my own little place with my wife, it's too good to be true," he said. "It's a small space so we have to be focused with our product and do a couple of things really, really well instead of being all things to all people."

Tracey met Fuel & Iron Project co-directors Zack Cytryn and Nathan Stern while the PCC culinary program was looking for employers to host apprenticeship programs for students.

"It's hard to find a better resume than (Tracey) has,” Stern said.

“He has done absolutely everything other than own his own restaurant. Meanwhile, through the culinary arts program, he has mentored hundreds of students and has really been a pillar of the culinary community here."

Steel Crescent Kitchen will be one of five concepts inside the upcoming Fuel & Iron Food Hall; other concepts include Diavolo Pueblo Hot Chicken, Mosh Ramen and the plant-based The Cutting Board. A fifth concept will be announced at the next pop-up event on July 19.

District Court Judge John Royer Tracey, is a Rocky Ford native, Tracey has served as chief district court judge since mid-1989.

Tenth Judicial District - District Court Judge

Honorable John R. Tracey

Retention Year: 1992

Recommendation: Retain

John R. Tracey was admitted to the practice of law in 1945. He was in private practice until appointed to the county court bench in Pueblo County in 1973. He presided in County Court until 1983 when he was appointed to the District Court bench. Judge Tracey is presently the Chief District Court Judge and presides over Division D of the District Court. His caseload includes criminal, civil, domestic, juvenile, and water court matters.

A survey conducted to evaluation the performance of Judge Tracey sought responses from members of law enforcement, courthouse personnel, attorneys, jurors, litigants and members of the community. Comments were made concerning his administrative abilities; however, these comments were not considered in his ratings as it is not a function of the Commission to evaluate him as an administrator, but as a judge. Some responses to the survey indicated Judge Tracey could improve on his legal rulings. Most responses, however, praised Judge Tracey for being patient, fair, and understanding and having honestly and integrity. Of the persons responding to the survey, 89% recommended the retention of Judge Tracey.

The 10th Judicial District Commission on Judicial Performance recommends that Judge John R. Tracey be retained.

Jay Walter Tracey Jr

September 24, 2007 The Denver Post

Lawyer gave voice to much [.]

It’s not often the world-famous Whippenpoofs of Yale get the chance to learn the fight song of a small Colorado town.

But Jay Tracey, an alum of the famed men’s a cappella group, taught the singers there the fight song of the Meloneers of Rocky Ford High School, Tracey’s alma mater.

Tracey also invited another Yale singing group to visit his hometown, known for its melons. “Everyone seemed to have a remarkably good time,” said Jay Tracey’s brother, John Royer Tracey of Pueblo. “Jay fixed them up with some of his girl friends.”

Jay Tracey died in Cambridge, Mass., on Sept. 11. He was 82. He had moved to nearby Brookline several years ago.

Tracey was a partner in Denver’s Holland & Hart law firm for more than 20 years. His passion, though, was singing.

He sang and played trombone in high school and with the U.S. Army Special Services Unit after World War II, traveling to France and Switzerland, said his son John B. Tracey of Boston.

Tracey thought of making music a career, but after the “grueling trips” in an Army truck and nightly performances, he decided against it, said his former wife, Betsy Tracey of Denver.

Jay Tracey sang with the Yale Glee Club, and after becoming a lawyer and moving to Denver, he helped write and perform in the annual Twelfth Night satirical productions at the University Club in downtown Denver, as well as productions of the Colorado Bar Association and the Denver Law Group. He and some friends formed the New Wizard Oil Combination singing group. The name was taken from an elixir that was sold in the Old West, said his daughter, Anne Landstrom of Oakland, Calif.

Jay Walter Tracey Jr. was born in Rocky Ford on June 13, 1925.

After finishing his degree at Yale, he entered Harvard Law school.

He married Betsy Longfellow in 1952, and they had four children. They later divorced, and he married Libby Folk Flinn in 1989.

In the 1950s, he helped represent a Denver group accused of violating the Smith Act, a law aimed at people accused of being communists. The group was convicted, but the conviction was overturned on appeal, said John B. Tracey.

“It was ironic that he represented them because he was such a conservative Republican,” his son added, “but he believed everyone deserved a chance and he had a strong sense of justice.”

Jay Tracey was a natural in the courtroom, said his son, “because he was used to being in front of people and presenting.”

In addition to his former wife and his brother, son and daughter, Jay Tracey is survived by another son, William Henry Tracey of Denver; 11 grandchildren; and his sister, Barbara Tracey Griffiths of Lubbock, Texas. He was preceded in death by his son Jay W. Tracey III.

Tracey, 53, lived a rich life both professionally and personally

 

Jay Walter Tracey III

Birth: 26 Aug 1953 Denver, Denver County, Colorado, USA

Death: 20 Nov 2006 (aged 53) Colorado, USA

Jeff Smith, Rocky Mountain News

Published November 24, 2006 at midnight

Jay W. Tracey III's philosophy degree from a small California college made an unconventional background for an investment portfolio manager.

But Mr. Tracey was known for his clear thinking, and he won an unexpected entree into the money-management business in his early 20s after a weekend in the mountains with the family of investment guru Bill Berger.

Mr. Tracey was dating Berger's daughter but wound up spending a good portion of his time talking and playing backgammon with Berger. Berger was impressed by Mr. Tracey's intelligence and soon hired him, said younger brother John Tracey.

That helped launch Mr. Tracey's long, successful career managing Berger and Founders funds in Denver, Oppenheimer portfolios in New York, and ultimately his own Denver hedge fund, Bass River Capital, named after the family's Cape Cod summer retreat.

"Jay was a natural for the business," John said. "He loved managing money and he was extremely good at it."

Mr. Tracey collapsed in his office at his Denver home Monday morning, and died of what is believed to have been a heart attack. He was 53.

Family and friends described Mr. Tracey as a lover of life and charismatic, with a wonderful laugh and intellectual curiosity.

He grew up in Denver, attending Cherry Hills public schools, Denver Country Day (now Kent) and Milton Academy in Massachusetts. He was the oldest of four children.

"Jay was the rock of the family," John Tracey said. "He taught us things. He was fun, he was funny and mischievous. He was always in control of his life. He was kind of a leader in the family, but he would never lord it over you."

John Tracey recalled fondly when his older brother returned home after receiving his philosophy degree from the University of Redlands in California.

"He made it a mission for me to learn backgammon," said John Tracey, who was then about 17. "We played it every afternoon, hanging out in our family room."

About that time, Mr. Tracey started what would be a 12-year stint with Berger Associates in Denver. He followed that with several years managing Founders funds in Denver, then moved to New York, where he managed the Oppenheimer Discovery and Enterprise funds.

He became a media favorite, often appearing as an expert on CNBC or being quoted by The Wall Street Journal, and he was once featured on Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street Week.

In 2000, he returned to Denver as the chief investment officer of Berger Funds before striking out on his own in 2004.

"He was a fabulous father," said his wife, Marissa, who met Mr. Tracey in New York. "Family was a huge priority to him, and one of the reasons we left New York was so he could be here for (his son) Matthew while he was finishing high school."

Mr. Tracey's routine included driving daughter Olivia, 8, to school, and he was involved in the preschool activities of daughter Isabel, 5.

His hobbies, many of them dating to his youth, included skiing, golf and photography. Marissa Tracey said her husband was an accomplished photographer who found unique angles and juxtapositions of people and buildings.

"He was a great golf mate, ski mate," said friend Scott Shwayder. "He was fiercely competitive but a fair guy, honest and ethical to the end."

Mr. Tracey believed in giving back to the community, including helping those less privileged, Marissa Tracey said.

She said he was chairman of the finance committee of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver; a founding patron of the Laboratory of Arts and Ideas at Belmar, a nonprofit supporting contemporary arts; and an advisory board member at Milton Academy in Massachusetts.

In addition to his wife, three children and brother John, Mr. Tracey is survived by his parents, Jay W. Tracey Jr. and Elizabeth H. Tracey; a sister, Anne; and another brother, Will.

A service was held Wednesday at Temple Emanuel, with interment at Emanuel Cemetery within Fairmount Cemetery.

Contributions can be sent to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver, 2017 W. Ninth Ave., Denver, CO 80204.
