June Nipper playing Mangroves Leaf You

You may be surprised to know that a few of the WoodChips characters are based on real people.  And one of my favorites in that category is June Nipper.

June’s real name is Pat, and she was a work associate of mine some years ago.  She was a great, fun-loving gal with an outrageous sense of humor.  Also, very bright, well read and she played the guitar and sang professionally.

And when it came time to party, well, I honestly believe Pat (June Nipper) could balance a martini on the end of her guitar while she played and sang.

So here’s a toast to Pat, a.k.a. June Nipper.
