Julie, Julie-the-Dog, Sherie, and Laurie (standing), at Shaki Rock beside the oldest mango tree in Nigeria (reputedly the ORIGINAL mango tree of Africa) sometime in late1964 or early 1965. Julie-the-Dog (so called to distinguish her from Julie-the-Sister) was a sweet middle-aged white lab that we inherited along with the house in Shaki when we returned to Nigeria from the States in 1964. We discovered sometime that year that Julie-the-Dog's mother's name was Sherie. Several years later, after we had left Nigeria, we heard that Julie-the-Dog, who ended up with complete strangers (some Brits who moved to Shaki to oversee the hydroelectric dam project), had a litter of 1 puppy, whom, interestingly enough, the Brits named Laurie.
