My dearest grandpa, Guppa turned 80 yesterday in South Africa. He still looks as "dapper" as ever. My fondest memories of him are on the farm in the little village of Boston, where I grew up. He was like a walking jungle gym for us grandkids, always up for swinging us around and around, having us climb up and somersault through his arms using his knees as a springboard. I remember being quite sad when I got too big to do somersaults off of Guppa's knees. He always loved playing with us. Happy Birthday Guppa!!
