I called my mom to thank her, and she pointed out the name of the previous owner, embroidered in the lining. Lucky Watson. Does it get any better than that? Can't you just picture Lucky (In my head, she and I are on a first name basis) bombing around Vegas, blowing on dice and sipping a Gibson? FANTASTIC. I just had to take Lucky out for a spin, and what better occasion than opening night of The Sleeping Beauty at The Boston Ballet? Thank you, Mom, for such a singular, special gift.
P.S. Anybody know Ms. Watson? I would love to learn more about her!
