Lucky Honeymoon

| This Winecoff Hotel Room Is Believed To Be The Bridal Suite |
Congratulations
on an excellent book. Though obviously a tragic subject, I still
found it to be well written and captivating.
Just recently I learned, much to my
surprise, that I have connections that go back to the hotel and 1946.
I discovered that my parents - from Birmingham - spent their
honeymoon in Atlanta and at the Winecoff in September of 1946 and were horrified by the news of the fire in December - apparently so much so that
they never discussed it with me. I only discovered this in the
last few years.
I'm told they felt they were among the "lucky ones"
- those who were not in the wrong place
at the wrong time later that year.
Again,
thank you for an excellent book.
Very
best wishes,
