"...enjoyed Stan's book. Though there was much all we Woodstockites shared in common, our experiences in our home situations on the plains were often quite different, depending on where we lived in India. We had no jungles or rajas - just salt-of-the-earth Punjabis and flat farmlands.

I was amazed at how broad-minded your parents' parents were about the "young lovers" relationship; my folks were much more up-tight: "Oh, you're much too young to settle down with one boyfriend; play the field, etc." I also learned a lot about my brother, Bruce's, trip home from India through reading Stan's account. Bruce was not much of a correspondent."

6-2003 email from Margaret Deefholts to Stan Brush, the author:

"Dear Stan:

I've now finished reading "Farewell the Winterline" and it lived up to all my expectations - and then some. I felt as though I was right there shoulder to shoulder with you, your family and friends as you rambled through Mussoorie and environs all those many years ago. The photographs
brought the text to life - a wonderful album of memories - and the many illustrations too served as delightful embellishments to the memoir.

Thank you for a lovely journey back through time. I hope, someday, we shall meet in person, although I now feel as though I've known you and Beverly for ages!"

Best always,
Margaret
