Of course, I was writing about Sulochana in my previous post. She was delightful. I shopped for bobbins and lace supplies for her here and in the U.K. She sent lovely hand-made Indian treasures in return. When her under-age-for-college son received a full scholarship to a university here in Maine, I drove there to meet him and his father and took them by car to see the Atlantic Ocean at Arcadia National Park - where Cadillac Mountain meets the sea. The rocky heavily forested Maine landscape near the Atlantic probably was very different from the landscape near the Indian Ocean! I offered to be a Maine contact in case of emergency, a role appropriately taken over by her son's roommate's mother. Sulochana's son went on to graduate school elsewhere in the U.S. The family moved to another India location some time after this. (I am deliberately leaving out details.) Unfortunately, I have lost contact with Sulochana in the years since. The memory of her is strong; always sparked by the little treasures she sent here to her American Fairy Godmother. She enriched my life. I like to imagine she is now teaching a granddaughter how to make lace. Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center
