  63. In the 80’s I crocheted a black and white piano keys scarf for Paul McCartney. I mailed it to his office in London. A while later a friend of mine went to a Beatles convention in Liverpool and saw my scarf for sale at the memorabilia table, for some good cause. He knew it was my scarf, because I put my initials on it.

    I was crushed. I wrote a letter to his office and said that they should tell people that the get so many gifts they have to give some away.

    In 1989, I had the great fortune to meet Paul and his wife, Linda in Los Angeles before his concert. I was able to hand them some gifts. A lapel pin of a LOVE postage stamp for Paul, and I gave Linda a fridge magnet that was a little plastic camera, you pushed the shutter and it had pictures of San Francisco. After all, what do you give a multi-millionaire?!? They sought me out later and thanked me. All was forgiven, but no more gifts. When people say “and time stood still”, now I know what they mean.
