   Picnics on Boston Common were always delightful.

   Cheers

     We set out our blanket under the tree, the only tree!

   Nice! Lovely women in the cooling shadow. Just curious, is Franciska in the picture too? The tree next to you looks foreign and interesting, almost like a wooden curtain.

     Birgit,
     Franciska is the student standing on the right hand side with her hands in the front.

     I think it is a kapok tree.

   What a lovely photo, Kat. 8 young beautiful women. Under the kapok tree. With their adult lives straight ahead of them. Have you kept in touch with any of them? Besides Franciska? What a gift—-to be a mentor. I’m guessing they were mentors to you, too..

   I wanted to join the P. C. Hadn’t graduated from college at the time. They weren’t interested in me. By the time I graduated—-Life took a different turn. Mentoring dogs! Who have taught me more than I ever taught them!

     I have kept in touch with three other students in that picture. In the first row on the right is Lillian and in the middle is Grace. In the back row on the left is another Francisca.

     They mean so much to me. They were patient while I learned to teach them. They were wonderously kind. They asked the most amazing questions. They accepted me so readily and so easily. I was thankful.
