Hi
Babe!
Just
got back from the bush in Eastern Nigeria and it is something not to
be believed! I’ll have shows the rest of the year. What a place this
is. There are so many things to write about that I can’t even begin
on a card. Am taking a run to Ghana and Cammeroon this week. The
people are absolutely great! Will arrive home Monday around 5
PM – would love to see you at airport.
Love
Love

The line drawing on the left was drawn
while Shep was in Munich. David Howell not only won the
drawing on eBay, but was able to locate the buildings
and throught the magic of Google Earth was able to
recreated the view!
In the background are the towers of Frauenkirche Dom zu
unserer lieben Frau, "Cathedral of Our Blessed Lady")
It is the largest church in the Bavarian capital of
Munich. |

Church

The drawing of the church on the left was done on
the back of Hotel Taft (New Haven, Ct) stationary. Checking
Google Earth, and Microsoft Maps and assuming Shep had drawn the
church as a view from his hotel window, I was able to 'find'
what may be the church he drew since it is at the right angle
and drawn from the rear. See the view at right.
