Chris, Xristos?

Anyway, best regards.

Peter (Aus, not Panayiotis, but I wouldn't have minded, though of course I can imagine the outcry from the 'yobs' - 'Panhandle', 'Yeti' - typical stuff from small poorly educated minds - and there are still plenty of them around, you bet.)
My Dad was intent on fitting-in to Aus culture and expectations of newcomers, so, fine with me.

Anyhow, either way, have a good one.

Dear David F.,

I found more information about the village of
Eishyshok (Eisiskes). Prof. Yaffa Eliach who
published the book "There Once Was A World",
that I had mentioned earlier to you wrote
about being re-united with her father and how
he danced in Israel at the wedding of her
daughter. Although his faith had been shattered,
he was pleased to learn the work his daughter
was documenting on Eishyshok.

Prof. Eliach recalls her father's words:

" At least the people, and perhaps even God,
will remember that there once was a world filled
with faith, Judaism, and humanity"

There's more at the following link:

Hi Joe,

It's my birthday today and I'm enjoying a quiet day
in lockdown in Melbourne. I'm curled up with a
book of poetry. And writing a few thoughts myself.
I've received flowers, phone-calls, cards. Shared
a cake with hubbie. (he made breakkie this morning),
We're having take-away for dinner. scollopini funghi.
So it's been a lovely day. Can't complain.

There's some incredible people in the world - you're
right. And their talents are inspiring. Especially
Kevin Gilbert - whose poetry I'm reading at the moment.
I would have loved to have met him. You're lucky you did.
Still I've got you guys here on this forum.
You, Saltpetre, Paul, Steele Redux, David F., to mention just
a few. You keep me going.
