and the Early Days of the TM
on Bags from Persia, the Caucasus and Anatolia. truth, Harold was substituting for a scheduled speaker who had to cancel last moment. Harold collection is extensive enough,[url=http://www.moncler-jackets@#$%&/]moncler jackets[/url], and his knowledge and experience is broad and deep enough, that he is one of those the TM can call on for an impromptu program without embarrassing results.
Harold conducting of this particular session was fortuitous in another important way,[url=http://www.nikeblazer-pascher.fr/]@#$%& blazer @#$%&[/url].
Landreau was an important member of the TM, both as director and and earlier as a staff member. He was a real force inwhat is, rightly, seen to bea very fecund period ofthe TM history. It was, for example,[url=http://www.the-north-face.co.uk/]northface[/url],during Landreau tenure as TM Director that these Rug and Textile Appreciation Morning Programs were initiated.
So Harold took a little time at the beginning of hisprogram(and made some arrangments beforehand)to shine a little historical light on Landreau and some of the results with which he was associated,[url=http://www.burberryoutletonline.in.net/]www.burberry@#$%&[/url].
We passed out copies ofThe Post obituary,[url=http://www.ugg-australia.it/]ugg australia[/url].
It bag cover isfamous among ruggies.
Russtold me,[url=http://www.truereligionoutlet.in.net/]true religion outlet store online[/url],in a subsequent conversation,[url=http://www.pololacoste-pascher.fr/]survetement lacoste[/url], that theidea for this title came from Alan Sawyer,[url=http://www.hollister-abercrombie.fr/]hollister france[/url], who was then the TM Director (Landreau was still a curator). Ready examples include the Richard Wright, John Wertime book on Caucasian rugs and textiles. Its title is Kars to Kuba. So even Allan Sawyer title brainstorm has left its mark.
But this seminal catalog was only part of the achievement. It was for an exhibition, first staged at The Textile Museum,[url=http://www.truereligionjeansoutlet.in.net/]true religion jeans sale[/url], but picked up by the Smithsonianin a travelingversion (Allan Sawyer work here may also not have been adequately recognized)that moved around the country. for three years,[url=http://www.hermesbirkin-bags.us@#$%&/]hermes ties[/url], with a final appearance at The Asia House in New York City.
The catalog was a huge publishing success. The original edition of 1,000 hard cover copies and 3,[url=http://www.@#$%&--trainers.co.uk/]trainers sale[/url],000 in soft covers was followed by two additional reprints of 3,000 each.
As we said above, and as the obituary notes, the Rug and Textile Appreciation Morning programs were also initiated during Landreau tenure. Harold seems the witness who was best positioned to observe the founding of the RTAM (Pickering reports that he still lived in NYC,[url=http://www.longchampbags.me.uk/]longchamp[/url], although he was in Washington frequently). Leonardo Contardo, who is also rumored to have been involved in the RTAM programs early, can remember only that he once a rug in an early one, a feat he said that was considered in those days.
Harold remembrance of the RTAM program origin is that it was an idea of Landreau that Harold was called upon, mostly, to implement. Harold says that he and Dennis Dodds and Jerry Thompson and some others gave programs early on. Whatever, it was a very sound move and its very persistence provides evidence that it has been valued over the years.
Harold mention of Dennis sent me to him,[url=http://www.juicycoutureoutlethandbags.in.net/]www.juicycouture@#$%&[/url]. Here what Dennis said about his days participating in RTAM programs.
(Ed. Beginning of Dennis comments.)
earliest recollection of the TM rug mornings is aided by my collection of daybooks that I have kept as a sort of diary since around 1968.
Saturday, April 10, 1976, I record what appears to be my first presentation. lecture. I had returned a few months earlier from a trip to Konya and south Anatolia and no doubt used some of my purchases in my presentation. In my daybook, I also wrote, select examples. This is likely a reference to picking some pieces from the TM collection to augment my talk. was after Tony had left as Director, but these regular morning sessions have been a continuing source of information and appreciation that needs to be retained and revitalized. I have probably done a dozen or so over the years, at least, and approach each as a sort of pilgrimage to the TM where I have learned so much and met so many wonderful people who have made such a difference in my life.
There was a time,[url=http://www.moncler-outlet.it/]moncler outlet[/url], during Virginia Delfico tenure as the Education Director,[url=http://www.@#$%&-rosherun.co.uk/]@#$%& roshe runs[/url], when the default objective was that there would be a free RTAM program on most Saturday mornings. And she was often successful.
I once put the data on TM RTAM programs for 10 years into an Excel spreadsheet and discovered that Virginia managed most months during her 11 year tenure to arrange four RTAM programs and in some months she offered five. It was rare to have only three. Things have fallen off rather sharplyin recent years, but there are still about two RTAM programs offeredeach month.
I exchanged emails about RTAM origins with Virginia and she wrote that when she was appointed as the TM first full time director of education,[url=http://www.lululemonoutlet-canada.ca/]www.lululemon@#$%&[/url], were sacred and it was one of my responsibilities to keep them going. Jannes Gibson,[url=http://www.montblancpens.us/]mont blanc[/url], another member of the Education Department,[url=http://www.moncler--jackets.co.uk/]moncler uk[/url], then,[url=http://www.pradahandbags.in.net/]prada sneakers[/url], and I introduced textiles to the mix of Saturday programs
In my view,[url=http://www.chanel-handbags.us@#$%&/]chanel handbag[/url], the Rug and Textile Appreciation Morning programs are one of the most effective community outreach efforts the TM makes, and can make, but it clear that these programs are no longer in any sense at all. To me, the de emphasis of these valuable and interesting programs in recent years is both mistaken and unnecessary (it costs the TM little to arrange and to conduct them, since they arecurrently arranged for and conductedalmost entirely on a volunteer basis).
Amajorobstacle to their enjoyment by a larger audienceis that the Myers Room is the only room available in the TM that can accommodate such sessions at all, and there are only 65chairs in it. That is the reason I devote a little time to producing these virtual versions. These programs are often too interesting, too good,[url=http://www.instylerionicstyler.us@#$%&/]instyler curling iron[/url], too valuable to be enjoyed by only 65 people.
Anyway, three cheers for Tony Landreau,[url=http://www.rolex-replicawatches.us@#$%&/]rolex oyster[/url], for Harold Keshishian, for Virginia Delfico,[url=http://www.polo-ralphlauren-pascher.fr/]@#$%& soldes[/url],for Russell Pickering and Leonardo Contardo, and all those whohave beeninvolved in various ways in creating and perpetuating the RTAM programs.

he and Kirk had selected a number of small bags, from Persia, the Caucasus, and Anatolia, and that they were arrayed in layers on the front display board and that they would just work through them.
It turned out that some of the pieces they had selected moved beyond the bag format, but,[url=http://www.saclongchamp-pas-cher.fr/]longchamp soldes[/url], smaller bags,[url=http://www.babylisspro.us@#$%&/]babyliss flat iron[/url], mostly, it was.
