Margot, out of the kindness of her heart, has asked for donations to the library being rebuilt/restocked in Alexandria . . .
Jeri has collected, over a lifetime, an 'inheritance' for lace-makers, and also has asked for suggestions on how to best use/maintain it . . . . . . "Putting all one's eggs in one basket" did not avail in Alexandria - nor in the time when Hitler played god, nor, most recently, in Iraq - due to the 'activities' of various forms of politics/ government/cultures . . . and "Charity begins at home . . ." I do not begrudge other countries any assistance that may be offered them, regardless of how this message may be viewed - e-mail is notorious for allowing whatever is in a reader's background to 'color' one's perspective, *as it has in mine*. ... And mine says : Jeri already *has* a collection worth preserving/adding to - ... and, I might add, it is *located* (so far ?) in a relatively stable, politically speaking, country. Please *think* about how to best use your 'extra' time/energies/materials . . .
