In my first lace class there had been a lady who'd been making lace for

competent in several types of lace. She'd had to leave the class when she
moved out of the area, and the teacher in the class she then joined made her
go back
It is with great sadness, we tell you of the death of Mrs Doreen Wright
this afternoon.
I was very sorry to hear about Doreen Wright - and a little surprised that
there has been no more comment about her.
I never knew her, except as the founding chairman of the Lace Guild (and I
