The Life of Nancy Dupree

An amusing article summing up the interesting life of my mother's sister:


The last time I visited her was at her and Louis's home in North Carolina in the 1980s. At the time she had an attractive Afghan mujahedin princess over to help drum up US government support for their fight against the USSR, and we hit it off well. I was just out of the army, and she tried to convince me to return with her to Afghanistan to help train Afghan soldiers in the use of US military equipment. I'd had enough of military life, so I declined, although I provided her with some useful training manuals. I also taught Nancy how to use a computer. My first failed student! ;-)
