SURPRISE! Landrum Bolling sighting at Jerusalem's American Colony Hotel

Last evening, four members of our group went to the American Colony Hotel to have a snack just for a change of pace from our hotel restaurant.  It was so strange.  One of the Earlham faculty members said, "You know, there is a man at the next table who looks just like Landrum Bolling."  Then a little later, the man left his table and returned after a few minutes. The same Earlham faculty member remarked again, "I think it is Landrum Bolling."   She got up and asked.  It was.  Landrum Bolling was traveling with his son, David Bolling, who is documenting the trip (an independent film maker from Sonoma, California.) Today, Dr. Bolling and his son traveled to assess Hebron, a desperate and volatile Palestinian city which has been declared off-limits to our group according to the grant made by Fulbright through the U.S. Department of Education.
