Dear, all --
I am currently working on a literary analysis of a novel where Mount Nebo is included in the description of Jerusalem's cityscape. I was rather startled by this, given Mount Nebo's location. Wikipedia explains that Jerusalem is visible from Mount Nebo on a "very clear day," however it is unclear if Nebo is visible from Jerusalem.

I am trying to find out if the Australian academic, Prof. Donald Daniel Leslie, the foremost scholar of the Chinese Jews of Kaifeng, is still alive. He would turn 99 this coming July. Please reply to laytner@seattleu.edu.
