Lick: I really enjoyed talking with you I tried to make it short and sweet and I got a lovely feel of who you are and of your life. And it’s really quite amazing .. Tippi: Thank you Lick: You’ve done so much. Tippi: Oh by the way, I’m being honored tonight by the Vietnamese manicurists. Lick: Oh my gosh.. I heard about that too.. I didn’t want to ask you too many questions but I saw that on line as well... You’re helping all those little ladies from all over the world (ha). Tippi: It started out when I volunteered with an organization called “Food for the Hungry”. Lick: Right.. Tippi: And we went all over the world helping people in horrible situations like disasters, flfloods, earthquakes, drought, war and all kinds of different things.. And when Vietnam fell we leased a battleship from the Australian navy called the “Akuna” and we sailed around the South China seas helping the boat people. We could bring them on board to feed them and give them fresh clothing but we couldn’t keep them on board because of an international law. But we could guide them to a safe shore.. So they could really be safe. And we also had this place up in Weimar California where we brought Vietnamese refugees and it was an abandoned tuberculosis sanitarium so it had lots of big buildings with lots of rooms with baths. And it was s perfect place for them. We tried to fifind sponsors for them and help them get their drivers licenses, fifind them a job and I brought in seamstresses and typists and people who could teach them a vocation. And they “L O V E D” my fifingernails!! Lick: Oh, (hahaha) so funny Tippi: So, I thought that would be a good one (vocation). My manicurist “Dusty” was her name. Lick: How appropriate!
