| A number of years ago, I taught Mr. Zippel's niece and nephew (as their junior high music teacher). You can only imagine my surprise when his niece came up and announced this to me! Once she knew I was aware of his career and successes, she would keep me abreast of all of his projects -- knowing I would eat up anything she had to say. I was, of course, most envious when she would tell me about seeing him often at family gatherings! |
