Bernadette must have been drawn to me in a beading forum, because of my screen name. I refer to her as the Pearl Guru, there, and she manages to impart some of her knowledge. I give her any stringing I cant manage my self, and she always produces work over and above the necessary. She gave me moral & physical support at a difficult time recently, and I would give her the shirt off my back if she needed it. I hope the forum realises what a special person she is.
