Dear Sug, I am so sorry you have lost your Nupe. The Leaf boys were kind enough to let me know as Bippy always kept me informed and I do miss her and Paul very much. I live in Greensboro and am a grand mother of 5! I still remember what great parents you and Nupe were and how funny Phillip was about haircuts! My sympathies to you and the "children."
