How right, I think you are, those who don't want to see the city today. I
never went back but my cousin's son David went. He wrote to me about
preparing the trip and that broke "the shell of my past, years of silence"
but I wouldn't like to see it today - it is NOT the city I remember - and
certainly not the people. Those of us who lived there who are still here to
tell the tale can be witness to the cemetery, as you say. Our stories are
NOT invented,at least not mine, they come from my heart and lay buried
for 60 odd years. Do built your house, Jerome and Merle on bitter sweet
memories of those of us who tell their tales.
Have a good week-end,
anny M
