here is one more photograph presented here, made at the Meher Baba Retreat Center in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in June, 1989. Margaret Craske, a Mandali member since 1933, was living out her last days in a white clapboard house on The Center known as Happy House. A dear friend of mine, Mary Lloyd Dugan, owned a dog named Goulash who, when prompted, would actually sing. Some say it was a howl, but I was there. This dog could really sing. Margaret had heard the dog perform previously and had been absolutely delighted by it, so when Mary Lloyd suggested that we go with the dog to visit Margaret, I was eager to tag along. As little Goulash began to perform, Margaret grinned from ear to ear and I shot the photograph. Margaret was to die 8 months later. Mary Lloyd died of cancer in 2006, way too early, and Goulash died a dog’s natural death in the early 1990s. Happy House burned to the ground in 1994. The years spent around the Mandali were wonderful years and those of us who were privileged to be there will carry around our treasured memories of them until we too, move on. | 23 | o m p o i n t i n t e r n a t i o n a l c i r c u l a r , s p r i n g e d i t i o n, i s s u e 4
