My wife and I founded Sunrise Pashmina (sunrise-pashmina.com) 25 years ago, in order to help local Nepali craftspeople reach an international market. Although we sell only top quality pashmina (i.e. cashmere) accessories, we have never invested in marketing and so have remained pretty small. We sell the standard shawls, but recently developed a pashmina travel blanket/meditation shawls; they are simply exquisite. This fall I will be working on a new yak fleece blanket. We offer a 10% discount to Cornellians (promo code CU10), and will gladly arrange for wholesale supply if you want to go into business yourself. We don’t take any kind of cut or commission on such referrals.

Who would like almost-new 1970 and 1972 Cornell yearbooks? These probably haven’t been opened in 30+ years.

If you pay postage I will send them to you. So if you want or either, please let me know. fredtierney@comcast.net.

I have authored a bit of a literary rarity—a novelette, which is usually defined as a fiction work of about 7,500 to 19,000 words.

My work, The Unmoved Mover tells the story of Judaic studies professor Aaron Shavoor and artist Rachel Gold, following a horrific school tragedy that overturns their world and unites them in bereavement. How does life go on after the worst occurs? How can two people who have experienced unspeakable loss find one another, and again find meaning in life? And who can ever believe in a benign and loving God, after such tragedy? Aaron’s and Rachel’s struggle to reclaim their lives points them to a kind of redemption–and perhaps also to love and self-forgiveness.

I call the work, “A Novelette of Redemption” for what I think are good reasons. I hope my fellow Cornellians will look for it on Amazon!

Want to read an “adventure, crime, and commentary on society” novel? It’s fiction, but it begins with the horror of 9/11 and builds from there on ethics, drugs, how society deals with problems, and more. Available on Amazon or Barnes and Noble, or have your local bookstore get it for you. No Reason by Laurence Ference ’73. Lsfcyborg@yahoo.com
