My Mother and Father, Eileen and Norm Pound were long time friends with Ken and Nobu. Nobu was such a lovely person and well respected by her friends. They had many great times with them and others at Broadway-First Baptist Church. And joined them at Gilbert and Sullivan over the years. Eileen and Nobu were part of PEO, a philanthropic sorority. We will all miss you, Nobu. RIP - Posted by: Peggi Talbot for mother, Eileen Pound (Long time friend) on: Oct 26, 2016
