HI Bernie,

I apologize for not replying sooner. We have never met, but I came across some information on the internet about Zena which included her memoirs that mentioned that her father-in-law owning land in Haifa Harbor and that her maternal grandmother, who helped raise her was one of the early residents of Tel-Aviv… I couldn’t help but wonder with all the strong connections to Israel, why you and Zena never immigrated to Israel especially considering the Apartheid government.

My parents actually met on a Kibutz in 1972 and my father served on the Israeli Defense Force during the Yom Kippur War on the Egqyptian front in artilery defending oil lines.
