Shalom Khaverim:
Yesterday, I feel, was kind of an historical day. We had a minor
reunion. Present were, Dani Dassa; Mitzke; Iris; Rafi; Gideon Zidler; Eli Lubliner; Judi; Ann
and me.
It was amazing
event. Keep reading since you will laugh your guts out.
It
started with Iris and Rafi coming to visit with me.
You can see us in the first photograph
We had
wonderful time together and then we called Dani Dassa
in
I called
also Mitzke in
We all met
in emotional meeting at Danis house as you can see
here:
My eyes
were not dry for one moment. How happy I was to see again my teacher and coach
that showed me first time how to hold the discus in my
hand. And was so dedicated to me to help me to excel in this
event which is the prime reason for my success in life.
What
a great meeting this was. We all went crazy.
Chili and
Uri Milstein joint us on Skype and it was so funny to
hear us to talk so fast with such emotions.
We were
looking for hours on old pictures. Look on this one:
Dani here on his 1948 Harley Davidson. I remember him teaching me to
ride it. I used to clean this Motor Cycle for hours.
Then we
decided to go to Dinner in an Italian Restaurant walking distance from Danis house.
And here
the fun begins. We were walking toward the restaurant when Dani pointed
to one house and said that Gideon Zidler live in this
house. Do you remember Gideon Zidler, he was a great basketball player, the only one that could
dunk a basket. Immediately, I said, lets nock on his door. Well
the Juveniles Iris and I went to the Door and knocked on the door. There was
no answer. I kissed the Mezuza and we start leaving
when we saw a light coming up. In a second the door was slightly opened and
this large tall Gideon Zidler look at the crack and
said: who is that? I answered: This is
An hour
or so past and Zidler did not come. We thought that
he decided not to join us. Suddenly, Zidler appeared
with heavy breeding. I asked him: Gideon, what happened why it took so
long? Zidler answered: You guys will
not believe it. I went from the door back to my room to put my shoes on. And
suddenly I thought that the whole thing was a dream. I just got up from
afternoon nap.. I thought maybe I suffered a
minor stroke. So, I run to the door again and no one was there. I went back to
the bedroom and was sure I had a stroke. So, I had to come to the restaurant to
see if I am going crazy. Well thanks God I found you guys here
Well
guys you can imagine how much we laugh. I almost chocked on my food. But this
is not all. After half an hour or so, Zidler Wife
came running to the restaurant. She asked Zidler why
he did not leave some note for her that he left. She was so worry. Adina, Zidlers wife, is a physician. And was very worry that Zidler had a heart attack.
Well Zidler told her that he was sure that he suffered stroke
since it was very unusual for
Was so
great to meet again my teacher and mentor that made my life:
What
a great time we had.
