I mostly remember Rob, Mrs. Shipp's son, as a sketch that Rob made of my sister Joan hung in the entry of our house for what seemed my lifetime. I was the peach-fuzz faced kid four years younger than Rob, but had the chance to "hang-around", maybe not knowing if my company really was desired. I knew of Mrs. Shipp as a respected elder to me, partially because of her presence at the church only a block and a half from my home, and of course, her work with the Girl Scouts, as scouting was a huge endeavor for the Usinowicz family. It sounds like Mrs. Shipp filled so many lives with contributions, and has left a wonderful legacy of her life and her works. George Usinowicz, Durango, Colorado
