Nira Cubbedge really did love the water and passed it on to her girls. I enjoyed many times at her home with my Armstrong classmates, Linda and Donna Cubbedge, and she was always a wonderful hostess and so welcoming to a bunch of teenagers. While I know she will be missed, Miss Nira has passed her graciousness on to her daughters and family and that will continue as a warm tribute to such a lovely lady. With sympathy, Sandy Brady Morris
