The Goofiness Continues…
Hoping I might have missed a photo of Mr. Chips, I go though the Lost Box of photos again, pulling apart any that stick together.

Header photo by orangebrompton I’ll keep updating this page, as I flip through my memory Rolodex, or hear one again that makes me say “Chips LOVED that!” There were also pieces he hated (opinionated pony) that would make him trot off in frustration.
