I know the man, in person. Our life lines met at the in front of the Acropolis of Athens, Greece.
We met today 2023-10-14, at 09:30 a.m. again ! - We will meet after a month again !
The Acropolis of Athens is the numen, the presiding spirit, of Greece. We never get over the thrill of seeing it looming above the capital. Every time is the first time. Every angle is special.”

William Blake,
an English poet, painter, and printmaker, now considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age, said that "my writings represent me !".

1. about searching for the famous Greek statue of the Aphrodite of Knidos, and / or 2. about the life of the great Saint Nicholas, and / or 3. about the Genesis of an archaeologist' ( an account of his work in the Holy Land ),
and the his familiarity with the archaeological sites over the whole region of the Eastern Mediterranean ( Adriatic, Greece, Turkey and the Near East ), and the lectures on the Archaeology he is giving on audiances to Greece, Turkey and the Near East, e.t.c.

Dear David ...
"Your chair fits to you precisely. Allow nobody to relocate you !
My great respect, and my best wishes, and ...
"ad astra per aspera !" ( is a Latin phrase which means any of the following: "Through hardships to the stars", "A rough road leads to the stars", or "To the stars through difficulties" )

To have got so far is a fine accomplishment.
This first step lifts you above the prosaic world,
and standing on this new height
you're admitted to the great City of Thought.
Only by hard work and exceptional talent
can one be enrolled in that distinguished company;
the requirements are so stringent
no fool could ever enter.
You have achieved a most wonderful thing.'
