Bonaventure Cemetery is a very special place, and it takes someone, dare we say, of her wavelength, to help you maximize the musical frequency of her stories and aura. Its one thing to go there and be hypnotized, and another thing completely, to have someone enhance the amperage, through in depth knowledge and passionate storytelling. Since 1988, Shannon Scott has made Bonaventure his first though

t when wanting to do research, paint, draw, photograph, picnic, you name it, and quite simply, on a touring level, there's no more personal way to experience the place. Anymore, many of our friends and neighbors are buried here, and one day, Shannon himself aspires to lie down in the place. But for now, Shannon and his storyists are determined to wither wander you around and take you deep with the subject of his friend's stories, and those, whom he's befriended, simply by making a study of their lives. Like all great poets and storytellers do. Bonaventure namedropping is our favorite kind. You'll hear of course about famed lyricist, Johnny Mercer, and underground cool poet, Conrad Aiken. Maritime hero, Josiah Tattnall III, photographer, Jack Leigh, silent film great Edythe Chapman, childhood celebrity, Little Gracie Watson, composer great, Professor Weigand, and the list goes on and on! Yet, there'll be plenty of stories about those whom did grand things, but their "fame," is more measured by their deeds inside of a town, than on the world stage. Yet you'll come to admire them greatly by the time its all said and done. All in all, our stories will prompt a laugh, evoke empathy, awe or even cause the listener to shed a tear. But mostly, Bonaventure the place, and our guides, will have you coming back for a lifetime! Remember, a portion of your tour ticket goes not only into Bonaventure Cemetery directly, but also to the City of Savannah Preservation Fee for Parks & Monuments! What a way to make an impact while learning and having fun!

I come from a long line of veterans. Nothing fills my heart more than the love of country, those that stand up and hold the lines for it, and then the heartbreak felt when those lives are lost. We're thinking of all of our Veteran's today. God Bless.

Halloween Night, 1997, Savannah. One hell of a "Good & Evil" party. In attendance, at minimum, author John Berendt, The Lady Chablis, Emma Kelly and a rare appearance (rarer autograph), root woman - Lady Minerva! With the Special Savannah Premiere happening 20 nights later, with national release of the film on November 21, 1997, this was probably a Sneak Preview party where anyone considered a "character" in The Book & film, was invited to attend. Attendees "Jim & Cheryl" obviously fortunate to garner so many autographs in one copy along with a Lady Chablis satin bookmark. To think, only the author still living albeit no idea who Jim & Cheryl are but am currently investigating through a surviving character as to complete nature of the gathering. I gifted myself the book as a Halloween present so the timing uncanny and perfect!

Savannah To Havana

Bonaventure gets a shout out in Havana, Cuba at Colon Cemetery where last week, Shannon Scott Tours' guide Gloria, toured with Cuban guide, Humberto of Havana Cemetery Tours, and captured a high relief bronze door depicting an angel by sculptor, Romano Romanelli. His father, Raffaello Romanell, famously did the "Heaven's Gate" monument in the Lawton Family plot here in Bonaventure. It is almost uncanny to think that The Savannah-Havana Connection was a routine vacation route as late as the 1950's and normal conversation here. Interestingly, both father and son Romanelli were Italian naval officers with Romano being highly decorated. Romano famously dated Isadore Duncan and may in part be the Havana connection as she performed on stages there with sister, Irma. Unfortunately in WWII, the Romanelli studio in Florence was destroyed, and essential transactional records were lost respective. #Cuba #havana #sculptor #romanelli
