Gigi Sandberg
Gigi Sandberg, a model theater enthusiast and promoter, passed
away February 4, 2009, one week before her 83rd birthday.
We never had the opportunity to meet her in person, but
enjoyed knowing her by emails, phone, and by her exhibit in
Florida and their web site. Her enthusiasm for model theater
inspired many of us, and we appreciate the Sandbergs'
promotion of this art form and their website
Toy Theatre Company.
