From Preston Stevens regarding the most exclusive neighborhood in Atlanta (2023):
DEAR EBEN )AND NANCY (Tilley - old friends from N. Fulton High, now living in Colorado),
I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE VIDEO. IT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES.
DODIE'S DAD WAS A CONTEMPORARY OF MY PARENTS BUT I NEVER HEARD THAT THEY WERE ANY MORE THAN ACQUAINTANCES. THOSE 600 ACRES HE BOUGHT WERE TURNED INTO ONE OF THE BEST DEVELOPMENTS IN ATLANTA. I HEARD OF CHARLIE BLACK ALL MY LIFE BUT I DID NOT REALIZE THE EXTENT OF HIS HOLDINGS. WE ARE ALL LUCKY HE WAS SENSITIVE TO WHO BOUGHT FROM HIM BECAUSE MANY OF THE HOUSES WERE DESIGNED BY FINE ARCHITECTS AND MUNROE WAS A GOOD CHOICE FOR LANDSCAPING AS WELL.
RIGDON HAD A QUESTION ABOUT DODO-OR DODIE-OWENS. THEY WERE FAIRLY DISTANT COUSINS I THINK.
WHEN MARIAN CAME TO TOWN AFTER WE WED SHE WAS CONFUSED BY ALL THE NICK NAMES. GEORGIA SEEMS TO BE A BIG PLACE FOR THAT. THE GIRLS SHE MET WERE DODO, DODIE ,DEE DEE,PEACHES, EDIE B, JODY,--AND SO ON. SOON OUR GOVERNOR WAS TO BE JIMMY. THE STATE OFFICE BUILDING WAS THE SLOPPY FLOYD BLDG.
DODIE OWENS WAS FRANK'S SISTER. FRANKLY, SHE WAS NOT VERY SEXY SO I CAN'T FIGURE OUT IF IT WAS THAT DODIE HAM STOCKTON WAS REJECTED BY.
I ALWAYS KNEW DODIE BLACK AS DODO BLACK. SHE WAS AN EXCELLENT GOLFER AND HORSE WOMAN. A NICE LITTLE LADY.
I WILL FORWARD THE VIDEO TO THE BUCKHEAD HERITAGE SOCIETY.
STEVE
