Courtesy of Jon Dunbar By Robert Neff Sometime in the middle of the night of May 11 or 12, Peter Bartholomew s 53-year-long sojourn in Korea ended with his sudden, unexpected death. Known for his passionate defense of traditional Korean houses, or hanok, his deep appreciation for Korean history and culture, his relationship with Korea s royal family and his business success, he often appeared on television, in newspapers, magazines and online articles, and guided friends, colleagues and peers to the hidden and vanishing treasures of Korea s past. He was often long-winded but surprisingly we know little about him.
