There I saw the last surviving specimen of the "dawn redwood" tree. This region had been under that cover, but all that had vanished, leaving just that single tree. I was awed. I collected a couple of cones of the dawn redwood. (On that trip to the US, I also visited Walden pond, in Concorde, Mass, where Thoreau had lived; and collected some souvenirs, like leaves etc). Over the years, when I want to give a very special gift to a very special friend - I give them a seed from the dawn redwood cone. To signify that the person is invaluable, a single survivor, of a special breed! Thanks for your eyeball! I just got an email from Deepak / Dadi, from our class in Xavier's. He's in Delhi. He is an avid reader of your blog he tells me! Best, chutki Hi JP, “because of rather than with” reading this reminded me:-) in 1992 I visited Smith College in Northampton, Mass.
