Thank you for this beautiful picture ...Dear Jilly,<br /><br />Thank you for this beautiful picture of Lesley on her 100th birthday.<br /><br />FYI, I am the author of a book published in French, "Seule sur le Transsibérien" (Alone on the Transsiberian) which is dedicated to Lesley.<br /><br />Published in 2006, she managed to read it before passing away on 7 May 2007, 3 years day to day after the beginning of my adventure in Russia. She was very moved by the tribute. We spent 3 days together sharing pictures of Siberia and memories of Russia - she was my heart and my soul. <br /><br />FYI, the book, an account of a 23,000km journey across Russia, is due to be published in a new edition in France in May 2010.<br /><br />I would love to suggest your picture in high res of Lesley to my publisher, Transboreal. My idea is to include it in the first or last few pages of the book.<br /><br />Please can you possibly get back to me at geraldinedunbar@yahoo.fr with your contact telephone<br />or call me +336 23 61 35 65.<br /><br />Urgent! Thank you so much -<br /><br />Geraldine Dunbar<br />Author<br />Vineuil St Firmin (Oise)<br />geraldinedunbar@yahoo.frUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16355989357677669488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-87034056836184156932007-05-18T19:13:00.000+02:002007-05-18T19:13:00.000+02:00What an interesting life!

I understand some of her lifestyle as it borders mine. A rich life to be sure. She will, no doubt, be missed and may become something of a legend in your city.<BR/><BR/>Abraham Lincoln<BR/><BR/>PS<BR/>Thank you for your generous comments about my blog and posts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
