[racket] Encapsulation

I am working on 39.1.8 of HTDP
http://htdp.org/2003-09-26/Book/curriculum-Z-H-49.html#node_sec_39.1

I have the gui all set up. The examples in the book use:
(define friends
(make-address-book "friends"))
and then applies friends to the argument, 'add, or 'search.

My thought was a basic list processing function that applies make address-book to each item in the list of strings. But how can I refer to them later in the program?

I thought maybe have the button callback for add/search apply make-address-book to choice-index, this idea worked for adding the name/numbers, but when I try searching it searches empty address-books. Im thinking whats wrong is every application of add creates a new address book and adds the input. Any tips for this problem?
