Still, T-shirts tell Rachel's tale the
best. Her school career begins with
"I get TLC at Temple Emanu-El," her
pre-school, followed by shirts from
/--- Burton Elementary, Norup Middle
School, Berkley High and Oakland
University. Her parents enjoy know-
ing the Oakland shirt is a hand-me-
down; Oakland is their alma mater.
Rachel's day camp years also were
included: shirts from Camp
, Honeydew and Camp Watermelon
and the Huntington Woods
Recreation program, Pillo Polo.
Several T-shirts are souvenirs of
rock concerts including the Black
Crows, Lollapaloza, Blind Melons
and the Beatles. Shifts from Brazil
and Germany recall the respective
homelands of the Nolish family's
exchange students, Fausto Schmidt
and Amir Schulz. The Hard Rock
Cafe in Washington, D.C., and the
London Underground T-shirts are
souvenirs of Rachel's travels.
One T-shirt is particularly meaning-
ful to Rachel; on it are the auto-
graphs of her Scout troop including
Sharon Ram, a beloved classmate
who died last spring shortly before
graduation. Similarly, the Camp
Pillo Polo shirt speaks to her mother.
Rachel is visually impaired, and
most normal activities for her require
special arrangements. Nolish recalls
that Pillo Polo was the first orga-
nized team sport that Rachel was
able to play. One game, she feels,
typifies her daughter's tenacity: she
suffered a nosebleed in the first half
but returned to score her first goal
in the second.
Nolish says the choices for the
quilt were subjective. "They reflect
my perception of what was impor-
tant in Rachel's life - the arrival of
a baby brother from Columbia (the
commemorative T-shirt reads "I'm a
Big Sister"), the years on the
Safety Patrol, special programs
performed by the marching band,
our annual latka party—but if a
mother doesn't know what's impor-
tant, who does?" D,
