"Lee and Emma Adler didn't just watch it happen, they helped make it happen. Happily for all of us, the product of their vision, dedication, tenacity and hard work is a city that is one of the world's greatest treasures." RICHARD MOE, President National Trust for Historic Preservation "Though synonymous with Savannah, the Alders' interests have known no boundaries. In a Texas town, a historic house stands because Lee visited and told them to save it. In Russia, the Adler name is found in the donor list at Pavlovsk Palace. Lee and Emma's preservation efforts are as extraordinary as the places thay helped save." ANTHONY C. WOOD, Founder New York Preservation Archive Project "This is an important book for everyone who values the historic character of their own environment and may face threat to the preservation of these places. It is especially important for young professionals...who are often isolated from the challenges such as Savannah faced..." ELIZABETH A. LYON Georgia State Historic Preservation Officer, retired "The Adlers story of the preservation movement in Savannah is to be treasured for its value as history and as a reminder of their significant accomplishments." JOHN W. REPS Professor Emeritus, Cornell University "Nudging, leading, prodding and financing, Lee and Emma Adler have worked steadily for forty years to save this historic city that they love and that all of us have come to love."
