Irith has some wonderful family in Melbourne. They are rather distantly related, but they were among the only family her mother had after the Holocaust and they remained close. The grandmother of Irith’s mother (Golda) was the sister of the grandmother of Harry Flicker, his sister Keila Pruzanski, and his brother Felix Flicker. Below is a picture of Harry, Keila and Felix’ wife, Ursula. Felix was not well enough to come to the party. We had brunch at Helen and Paul Forgasz’ home. Helen is the daughter of Felix and Ursula. We were met at the airport and are staying at the home of Leon and Karen Pruzanski. Leon is the son of Keila and Tewel Pruzanski (of blessed memory). Also there were Yaron and Andrea Flicker and Yaron’s brother Mark. Yaron and Mark are the sons of Harry Flicker and his beautiful wife Masha (of blessed memory). One of Yaron and Andrea’s sons – Jess – the daughters of Helen and Paul – Rebecca and Rachel, and Rebecca’s partner, Debbie Kertesz – and one of Leon and Karen’s children – Kimberley - were also there. So it was a great reunion. The identification of each person in the Melbourne Mishpacha picture can be seen on geni.com (although you may need to be a member of the family to access it).
And, we were surprised with yet another Happy Anniversary cake. I think this is a world’s record, one being better than the previous. A wonderful time was had by all.

Another Anniversary Cake
You both look tanned and well rested. Sounds like you are having the most marvelous time. A little too much detail about the family from “Down Under”, but interesting nevertheless. Back to shoveling snow…..

Love reading your posts. sounds like quite an adventure.
