Mr. Dagher. I lived in the house of your grandfather from 1958 through 1964. So I knew the family well. I would like to know who your parents were just out of interest. I dont know if you have been back to Lebanon but the house looks totally different now, as does the whole are around it. My oldestr son was there last May and he took a picture of the rear of the house, complete with fountain. I do miss the wonderful grapes that Mr. Nahas grew in the back. John Makkinje

Hi John. Great to meet you. My parents are Fuad Dagher and Malak Nahas. We spent a lot of time at this house. Anthony sent me an email which I replied to, Terrific grapes and memories. My wife and I have been back a number of times as my family still maintain homes there. Best Regards. Joe
