Sugar Lip of Our Town and the Coincidence Tale
A fragmentary reminiscence from a central Ohio town centers on a boy nicknamed Sugar Lip due to a heavy lower lip and a sugar craving. The piece notes the town’s high rate of youth leaving home plus a few who stay, highlighting Lip as an exception who wandered often and returned, even describing a Chicago encounter with him in a white jacket.
