He now lives in a flat in a tall building overlooking the house where his great-grandmother, Hortense Wood, hosted Kemal Pasa during the War of Independence. I was a guest at the house 40 years ago when there were no tall buildings in Bornova :-) ( I found some Bornova pictures and the new parts are still amazing to me. I remember Bornova when the Tip Facultesi at Ege was the only new building in town and the only way to get there from Izmir was dolmus.
