Besides being a gifted storyteller, Shannon Scott is a dedicated researcher who goes to great lengths to obtain information from original sources to bring the people he talks about to life for the listener. On the Bonaventure By Day tour, rather give us a superficial, diluted overview of the many notable people buried in the cemetery, he perceptively chose to talk about a few key people whose lives had a profound impact on the Savannah community at the time in history they were alive - whether the person was an athlete, a musician, a freemason, a sculptor, an author, a poet, or a child who brought joy to everyone who met her. Shannon Scott has a talent for bringing to life the people whose stories he chose to highlight, so that the magnitude of their contributions are not overlooked and can continue to touch the lives of the people who hear their stories today. If you want to participate in a tour in which the guide makes you feel that the experiences of those long gone still have the power to teach and impact you today, this is the tour for you. I am sure that Shannon Scott's other tours are equally exceptional, but the brevity of my trip only allowed for this one tour. I hope to take the other tours Shannon Scott offers on future trips to Savannah.
