Mrs. Ghamarian

[Levin]

My son's pre-Kindergarten teacher is from Iran; her name is Mrs. Ghamarian. She's beautifully persian. Also fully westernized in dress and habits. She has two sons, not only fully westernized, but fully Americanized. She's a strict teacher; hard on the boys -- by far the most requested teacher by the parents in my neighborhood where most families have nannies and housekeepers. She has taught the children many Farsi folk songs, how to count to 10 in Farsi, etc. My son loves to go to a a favorite Iranian restaurant b/c he gets to eat food from Mrs. Ghamarian's country. He'll have a connection to Iran forever b/c of Mrs. Ghamarian. When he's my age in a few decades, what will Iran be like? What will America be like?

To the women in Iran who want the freedom Mrs. Ghamarian enjoys, my heart and deepest wishes go out to you.

To the women in Iran who fear the freedom Mrs. Ghamarian enjoys, my heart and deepest wishes go out to you too -- that you will find the religious tolerance in this world that your country at the moment refuses to extend to others.

Thank you Levin.Iranians are generally good ,let alone in western attire and attitude.Would you please remind her of the fact that her Iranian compatriots have never been bestowed freedom freely .They have always had to gain it ,no matter how exorbitant it is .Last time i checked ,the price was our sons and daughters blood.

Mindful! You're back! I look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments on all of the recent events. The death of Neda seems to have really galvanized many of your countrymen.

Well..yes i am.Thank you. But i really needed to have a peaceful mind to be able to post ,which i did not have during the last week .I am going to assemble my thoughts and put it in some posts .Hopefully this excuse would be adequate.

I have always had a good feeling for the Iranian people because of my association with one person. I started out with Price Waterhouse and a co-worker was from Iran. He was a great guy. Fun to be around.

It seems odd to me now. I don't think we ever talked about him being Muslim or my being Mormon. It wouldn't have changed the friendship we had even if we had.
