when I was living in Mashad, Iran, her brother-in-law was the British consul.
She and her husband , the archaeologist, Mallowan(sp), came to visit. We
were invited to the celebratory banquet. After heaping my plate with
incredible Persian food, I found myself sharing a window seat with her. A
large lady in black, with a gorgeous long strand of large pearls. After
realizing who she was and introductions over, we discussed recipes and
different cuisines of the world. Nice lady. I liked her and the evening flew
by. This was in the early sixties.
