<< I was very sorry to hear about Doreen Wright - and a little surprised that there has been no more comment about her. >> -------- Dear Lacemakers and Jane Read, This is typical of many postings - no comments. In this case, I did not write to the list, but did write privately to Jean's marvelous husband - David Leader. To thank him for always giving freely of his limited time and considerable computer talents, especially when Jean is away and something Lace Guild-related needs to be done. They are a great team. I think the people behind the scenes (the backup teams) often are not acknowledged by us. Also, I would like to suggest that it is nice to keep biographies of our lace legends up-to-date for those times when they are needed in a hurry. (Doreen Wright was 95. An obituary would be needed - sooner, rather than later.) Jean Leader had the Doreen Wright tribute - written by Gwynedd Roberts - ready-to-use. Major publications do this. Our much smaller lace organizations do not (that I know of). It is a good idea, because the information can be polished, and there is more time to verify facts and include all important information that might otherwise be forgotten. It is the best send-off to Lace Heaven we can give - an accurate "picture" documenting a lacemaker's life. Read at this address, and marvel at the obstacles overcome by this one lacemaker. If you have Doreen Wright's book, it would be nice to print and put in the book: http://www.laceguild.org Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
