Her parents made her and her sister practice their violins in a closet so as not to disturb apartment neighbors. Her sister became allergic to the rosin for her bow and played wearing cotton gloves. My roommate practiced her spoken Chinese before calling home, as her primary language was English.<BR/><BR/>My other friend's mother and her four sisters were spirited out of China during the 1950's by her grandmother. (No one spoke of her grandfather). Her mother was a high school science teacher, and one aunt ran Time Inc's finance department. My friend was in her ophthalmology residency.<BR/><BR/>Goal-oriented, smart, witty, very funny senses of humor, and unending energy were the commonalities of my friends. I miss them.N=1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02256479234981292080noreply@blogger.com
