"On June 22, 2002, I interviewed Julia Child about her apron memory. The story she shared was a recollection so poignant and filled with homey advice, which I integrated into my personal life." " says EllynAnne Geisel, Prima Apronista and author of The Apron Book.

How EllynAnne came to be seated at a cloth covered patio table across from America's most beloved cook is one in a series of blogs. The first published August 8, 2009 at www.apronmemories.com.

"For the next hour, I sat with Ms. Child as she ate a simple lunch of an unadorned hamburger patty and a pint carton of milk, and we chatted about my apron journey and her apron memory. As soon as she began talking about her husband, sadness misted her face, and no longer was I sitting across from an icon; rather, I was in the presence of a woman who'd lost the love of her life."

The digital recording of that interview has been in a fireproof box for the past 7 years. There's over sixty minutes of conversation, revelation, poignant recollection, homey, personal advice and Ms. Child's words of wisdom, which EllynAnne has integrated into her life.

From Ms. Child, EllynAnne learned life lessons. "Julia Child was a teacher of more than just cooking."
