[Leica] la passionaria - Bob Adler

[j2m46 at hotmail.fr (Jean-Michel Mertz)]

Thanks for the pictures, Bob. We had planned to visit the Bonaventure 
cemetery but couldn't make it ... Next time! I can see your family is 
famous, this is very impressive! Yes, Doroth?e and her family live in the 
White Bluff area. Quite nice. When we're there, we love to walk along the 
"shore" of Isle of Hope, very peaceful, lovely houses. As outsiders, we 
can't get a thorough knowledge of what Savannah is all about - except when 
reading THE book! We've met with a few "genuine" Savannahians, local artists 
mainly, as Preston Russel and his wife Barbara, and then we socialize with 
the academics of AASU, most of whom are not from the area. So our 
impressions of the town are to be linked to our first-degree 
perceptions!Thanks again for taking the time to answer my mail!Jean-Michel
