پس از زلزله بم- از لابه لای نامه های قدیمی

Dear dear Iman

.     It is such a tradgedy. I remember so good the time I had in Bam 

The old city was really like a fairy tale, I enjoyed sunrise and sunset from the casstle tower..... nothing remains.....But even much more the human drama attaches me!!!   The Iranian people are so honest, so good, they do not deserve this faith. I remember the old English teacher who had a tourist house..... The name of this tourist house is still written on my car. He was such a good man, we went together shopping for car parts in Bam. The day we had to pay the bill, the bill was less than the communicated price. I said him: you are asking too less, you had told us a higher price?  He answered : I see people enter , they are tired, they had a tough travel and their mood is tired, when I see those people laugh when they are one hour inside, that is my life, the money does noy count......  why???   All my sympathy to you and all the Iranian people, it really attaches me. I put some money on a help account for Iran, please tell me if I can do more

All the best

John
