              We are sad to announce the untimely passing of Lucy Berry's husband.
              Francisco Leone 28 February 1964 - 9 July 2007 - RIP
Lucy (older daughter of Godfrey Berry) and Pancho had 4 children - Panchito (19), Sergio (17), Dominica (12) and Thomas (8)
              They have lived in Guayaquil, Ecuador for most of their lives.

July 25th, 2007:

By popular request.. (at least from John Clark), here are some pictures of the South Bend house that we have renovated and put up for sale. In the process, we sliced off some land to make an additional garden behind our garage in the back garden - we call it the back-back garden. The house (119 Laporte) is right behind our own South Bend House - those of you who have visited will remember it as an odd pink-painted place on the other side of a high "privacy fence".
