After returning to the United States, the family moved from Elizabeth City, North Carolina to Raleigh, North Carolina. In Raleigh, Mike opened several businesses on Fayetteville Street, including the Log Cabin, which was a popular restaurant and tavern during World War II. </p>
<p>Nell (Nellie) Mettrey Wehbie was born in Elizabeth City, North Carolina on April 30, 1916 to Mike and Mary Wehbie. She graduated From Meredith College in 1938 with a teaching degree and concentrations in English and Foreign Languages. George Kahdy was born in Baskinta, Lebanon on October 6, 1921. George and his parents, Adma Sawaya and Asaf (Assif) George Kahdy, immigrated to the United States when he was 18 months old. George had four sisters: Afifi (Adele), Genee (Janette), Sally, and Virginia. George was raised in Macon, Georgia and attended the Lanier School for Boys where he participated in ROTC. He spent one year at Georgia Tech before volunteering as a buck private in the 30th Infantry Division of the United States Army in 1940. George worked at Fort Jackson, South Carolina training draftees, became a fighter pilot in the Army Air Corps, and taught graduate pilots gunnery and fighter tactics at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.</p>
<p>In 1944, George met Nell Wehbie through his parents, who were friends of Mike and Mary. At the time, Nell was working as a high school teacher in Warsaw, North Carolina. She also worked for the Red Cross in Washington D.C., where she lived with her sister, Amelia, and Amelia's husband, Joe Salem. On July 9, 1944, Nell and George married at Christ Episcopal Church in Raleigh. While George was stationed at Eglin, the couple lived in Milton, Florida. They had their first child, Barbara, on July 14, 1945. On January 16, 1948, they had twins George and Georgette.</p>
<p>The family moved to Knightsdale, North Carolina, where Nell acquired a teaching job and George attended Wake Forest University under the G.I. Bill. After graduating, George taught math and science at Needham Broughton High School, where Nell taught language courses. Nell was honored in the 1950s and 1960s by the American Foreign Language Association as one of the top high school teachers in the United States. While teaching, both Nell and George earned Master's degrees at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 1956, Nell received a Fulbright Scholarship to study at the Goethe Institute in Munich, Germany for the summer. Through the American Institute of Foreign Studies, she led students and teachers on trips to England, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and Spain for 25 summers. George served as principal of various schools for 13 years, including during the period of school integration. He went on to hold various governmental positions related to education. </p>
<p>Nell passed away in July 2015 and George in September 2023. Barbara Kahdy Estes started a physical therapy practice in Atlanta before moving to the North Carolina mountains. George Kahdy Jr. became a veterinarian and founded a veterinary practice near Raleigh. Georgette Kahdy Stone taught French and Spanish and lives in Charleston, South Carolina.</p>

�News From Lebanon
Trying to put Lebanon on the tourist map
Buzzing through town during a two-day mega-tour were members of American media outlets representing
ABC, NBC, National Geographic Traveler, Travel & Leisure, Escape Magazine and the Discovery Channel.
The group of 17 "explorers," who stayed at the Marriott Hotel for three nights, included editors, correspondents,
presenters and cameramen - among others - who toured Beirut, Byblos, Jeita and Beiteddine Thursday and
Friday.
The aim is not to do a show about the destination per se, but the experience and the process of traveling in that
destination.
French department stores open in Beirut
The French department store, BHV, recently opened in Beirut across from the Marriott Hotel. This is the first
BHV store to open outside France and it sells products ranging from cosmetics to sportswear to lamps and
window shades. The store also displays a special collection of hardware over more than 30 aisles.
BHV Lebanon spreads over 8,000 square meters on the ground level of a new building in which the second
floor will be taken by another French company, Monoprix Supermarche, next March.
Lebanese group discusses founding a national library
A group of Lebanese intellectuals have recently raised the pressing issue of reviving a national library in the
country especially at a time when UNESCO dubbed Beirut the Arab Cultural Capital for 1999.
A gathering was organized in the capital by the Lebanese Association of Antiquarians and Collectors to discuss
the possibility of founding a national library. Although a clear plan of action was not reached at the meeting,
there was an evident will among the majority of those gathered to pursue the matter.
A project by Jean-Pierre Fattal to construct a new national library was presented to the Ministry of Culture. Its
overall cost is estimated at $35 million depending on the location and size of the library.
Beirut's opera house proposed
Beirut Mayor Abdel-Monem Aris has asked the President of the Conservatiore Superieur Nationale, Walid
Gholmieh, to prepare a list of recommendations for constructing an opera house.
A plot of land for an opera house has already been allocated on the north-eastern end of the Hippodrome.
Mr. Gholmieh said that having an opera house would boost the country's cultural standing.

�TLA Will Hold First Lebanese Festival in May
Dear TLA members and friends,
Happy New Year everyone. I would like you all to know about a very special event which will take place this
spring. Saturday, May 1, 1999 the TLA will sponsor the first Lebanese Festival in the Holshauser Building on
the State Fairgrounds in Raleigh. The entire Triangle community will be invited to come and enjoy Lebanese
food, music and dance; to learn more about the rich history and culture of Lebanon, the history of Lebanese
immigrants in the Triangle area, and the contributions of the Lebanese people to the global community.
For the last year I have served as Public Relations Coordinator for the TLA. I am happy to have been asked by
the Executive Committee to help organize this festival, and will do my best to work with everyone involved to
make it a successful event. I would like to give a little background about myself to explain my interest and
belief in the worth of holding a festival and in sharing our culture with the community-at-large.
I am third generation Lebanese-American, the granddaughter of Lebanese immigrants who came to the United
States in the early 1900's. Despite being born and raised in New York state, I have family roots here in the
Triangle. My father's parents settled in Wendell, NC in 1918 and raised ten children there. When I moved here
two years ago, I was very happy to find a large, thriving community of Lebanese people, both recent
immigrants and the descendants of earlier immigrants like my grandparents. Having lived for many years in
another part of this country where the Lebanese are not so visible and established, I appreciate the vitality of the
Lebanese community here, and do not take it for granted.
I believe in the value of cultural exchange as a means of promoting respect and understanding among people of
different backgrounds. Growing up I remember attending ethnic festivals held by Greeks and Italians in my
community. As I enjoyed their unique foods, music and exhibits, I learned about their traditions and admired
the pride those people took in sharing their culture with others. The Lebanese people have a long history in the
Triangle and in North Carolina. Still, there are many people here who know very little about Lebanon, or who
only know what has been printed in the newspaper in recent years. As a Lebanese-American and a member of
the TLA, I feel a responsibility to educate others about Lebanon and the Lebanese culture. This can be done on
an individual level, or as part of an organized group.
As I understand our purpose, the TLA exists to preserve and celebrate Lebanese social traditions and cultural
heritage, and also to promote a greater understanding and appreciation of those traditions and that heritage
among the larger Triangle community. We come together regularly as group to enjoy and to share our common
heritage with each other. At the International Festival, we demonstrate our pride in our culture alongside many
other ethnic groups in the community as part of a multicultural event. At the Lebanese Festival, the focus will
be entirely on Lebanon.
The Festival will be an opportunity to celebrate and share Lebanese culture with others, and to educate them
about the historic contributions of the Lebanese to the world, as well a-nhe -history of the Lebanese immigrants
who settled in Raleigh and the surrounding communities.
Please watch this newsletter next month for more specific information about the details of the Festival. This is a
very large undertaking for the TLA, and we will need everyone's support, young and not-so-young, to make it a
success. We expect to learn a lot in the process of putting together this first festival. There will be big jobs and
6
�Lebanese Festival, Continued
small jobs to be done, before and during the festival. I hope that everyone in the Lebanese community who is
able will make the effort to be there, to invite many non-Lebanese friends , and to participate in what we hope
will be a very special event.
If you have ideas to share, are interested in volunteering to help, or wish to donate items for the cultural display,
talk to me or other members of the executive committee at the Valentine's Hafli, or call Doumit or Leann Ishak
in the evenings at 919/851-5187 to put your name on the list of volunteers.

PLACE YOUR BETS
When Crypt Records dropped the
Memphis trio Oblivians - a group hellbent on deconstructing the blues with a
fiery punk angst - the band returned to
its original incarnation: Compulsive
Garn biers . It's no surprise to ·find the
Gamblers' m.o. is similar, yet it adheres
to Jerry Lee Lewis more so than Jon
Spencer and his Blues Explosion. The
band has a new CD out, Bluff City
(Sy_mpathy _For The Record Industry),
which also mcludes an early '93 recording from the first-generation line-up.
What comes around goes around ... and
the Gamblers' spinning roulette wheel
stops in Chapel Hill this week.

Chapel Hill is ranked No. 42 in the
third edition of John Villani' s 100 Best
Small Art Towns in America, which
credits this "bastion of liberalism" with a
"broad-based arts scene whose greatest
strengths are in music and performance."
(Villani also notes that Chapel Hill enjoys
"some decent nightlife," which
Spectator's Greg Barbera considers a little
bit of an understatement.) Villani will be
in neighboring Carrboro this weekend to
discuss the book 's selection criteria
(Wilmington, for comparison, ranked No.
23) and to offer a talk and slide presentation on how the arts can achieve goals
including boosting economies, building
tourism and revitalizing downtowns.
Sat u rd ay, May 1, 1 p .m., at The
ArtsCenter, 300-G E. Main St., Carrboro.
