Really, someone should speak to the Springetts to establish the accuracy of the story, since my memory is not always top notch. But, as I recall, there was some general discussion going on about how David had developed his bone bobbin turninng abilities, experimenting with boiling cow bones, often left over from the family dinner, and experimenting with other bones. They read in the paper that the giraffe, or some other large exotic quadraped at the local zoo had died and they "rang up the" zoo to ask if they could have its leg bone, which they then boiled and tried to fashion into bobbins. For some reason, I think that the giraffe did not make satisfactory bobbins. But this is a story I heard from Christine about 20 years ago, so I may have misremembered it.
