Hi Teju! I live in Cedarburg and am a close friend of Orunamamu who told stories with you at the Milwaukee Museum during Black History Month way back in the early 80s. She celebrated her 91st birthday yesterday and she asked me about you. She had tried to call you a few years back and the number she had was disconnected. She would love to talk with you again and exchange a story or two. Of course, age has taken it’s toll and her traveling has reduced significantly and she carries many fewer bags of “props”. Her spirit is still very vibrant and fun. She spends about 6-7 months in Oakland CA and the other 5-6 in Calgary with her son Eddie. If you feel inclined, her Oakland number and best time to catch her is between 7-8 a.m. our time. She will leave for Calgary April 12, 2012 and can be reached there. Hope you are doing well! Warm regards, Patty
