[KS] The house in Noryangjin: Thank you!

[Stefan Ewing]

Dear KS List members:

We are dealing with this off-list, but I just wanted to put my thanks to 
Professor Lee on record, for all his help with finding this house.  I can 
hardly believe the good fortune that someone with his interest in historical 
homes lives in the same neighbourhood!

Professor Lee has pointed out off-list that until a few years ago, there 
were were actually many Japanese-era homes on lot 205 at one time.  The 
house Ken Kaliher found (and thanks also to Ken again for your help) may or 
may not be where Mr. Nomura's house used to stand, so the mystery is still 
unfolding.  I will let the List know if there are any dramatic new 
developments, or more interesting tales from the past.

Yours sincerely,
Stefan Ewing
