Mr. Dupree continued to make trips to Afghanistan, with the guerrillas, while Mrs. Dupree worked with refugees. Mrs. Dupree is survived by a sister, Jane Sherilla Mathias, three stepchildren and five grandchildren. Mrs. Dupree continued the work, eventually transferring the material to Kabul University, where it became the core of the Afghanistan Center. A portrait of Mrs. Dupree, her white hair disheveled and a gray scarf around her neck, had been placed on her office desk. “He’s got such a fantastic view,” Mrs. Dupree used to tell friends.
