  1. I am Uncle Toppy’s nephew. From New York where Arthur originally lived. I have memories as a small child of Uncle Toppy, Aunt Georgianna, and my cousins, boarding a train in New York and moving out to St.Louis. I also have great memories visiting St. Louis and going to the Gateway Arch, and the St.Louis zoo. We had a great time also when they all visited NewYork for my brothers wedding. I will always hold “Uncle Toppy” close to my heart and am grateful and thankful for having had him as my uncle.
