He had a cassette tape player in his back and would tell stories while I followed along in the book.
One day, he broke and we had to send him to the Teddy Rupskin hospital. I remember waiting on the front porch every afternoon for the UPS man, Buddy, to bring him back!
Would you believe that Buddy is still on that same UPS route? I have a friend who lives near my childhood home and he is now her UPS man. I wonder if Buddy knows he's forever linked with Teddy Rupskin in my mind!
