Julie, in her dedication, has become a heart beating in unison with the pulse throb of her proteges; she is a shoulder upon which those less strong than herself may rest to gain new strength; she is a hand outstretched in unquestioning aid. In her great concern and awareness, Julie Riachart suffers the agonies of others, laughs with them in their pleasures and crusades in their behalf. But there is yet another dimension to Julie Raichart, the sensitive and artistic woman whose rollicking sense of humor never sinks a single barb into the spirit of a fellow human being. There is a joyous Julie who wanders enthralled through the great museums of Europe as sometimes in long summer months she visits Italian relatives whose homes are scattered throughout the Old World. Julie Raichart pursues through works of art and the written word the widely diversified cultures that have captured her interest. "I'm a compulsive reader," she laughs. "I even read the fine print on the cereal box at the breakfast table. It is my personal curse to live in the midst of more literature than I can read in a lifetime." Born in Tacoma and reared in the midwest, Julie once made her home in Phoenix, Arizona. There she spent long days in Indian art museums and directly from the Indians learned weaving skills and authentic patterns now faithfully reproduced on her loom. Julie Raichart begins the fashioning of her fabulous rugs by the washing of a purchased fleece which is then picked free of clinging shreds of vegetation. The wool is then carded into long and continuous fibers to be spun into yarn as Julie's wheel sings its own inimitable tune. Dyes gleaned from nature color the yarns in muted hues. Berries, leaves, teas and flowers are processed to produce dyes that are permanent when set with alum. Julie Raichart. career woman, is also a homemaker for her husband Larry, her 15-year-old daughter Regi, and four dogs who are very much members of the family. "When 1 retire," says Julie, who shows no signs of doing so, "I want an acreage with sheep grazing in green meadows where fleece may be spread to dry on long and sunny summer days." | JULIE RAICHART is well known as director of the Senior Center. Just as interesting is the Julie whose hobby is weaving. Page S-10- Shelton-Mason County Journal - Thursday, August 28, 1975 Thursday, August 28, 1975 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Page S-23
