Before they married my parents lived in Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape in South Africa. They left Port Elizabeth for Durban in 1944. I found this picture of  the "Daughters of Zion" in the synagogue in Port Elizabeth. The group was evidently composed of women (unmarried) who belonged to the Jewish community. My mother (then Queenie Shapiro) is the 4th from right in the back row and in the photo caption it is written that she was Honorary Secretary. The gentleman is Bernard Weinronk (Hon. Life. Pres) . Today there wouldn't be a male in charge of a women's group. My late Aunt Malia (who married my father's youngest brother Abe) was a Weinronk . From the family tree her son, my cousin Jonathan sent me, Bernard Weinronk is his great uncle.  The woman on the right top row  the picture  is Miss  D. Weinronk - I presume the same family but I don't know how she is related.

• For a change we had a busy week. The concealed cistern in our toilet cracked and leaked. To replace the cistern the wall tiles had to be removed. We spent a day looking for the same tiles with no luck, but eventually found tiles close (nearly) to the original colour and design.
• On Wednesday we invited former neighbours Jeff and Pam Boner and relatives Joel and Beryl Klotnick for lunch. They had never met but it didn't take long to find they had  mutual friends and relatives.
  
• On Thursday Doreen and friend Caroline went to vist and have lunch with good friends Dovvy and Ziona Glassman at their retirement home.
  
• Today we and Basil and Noga Porter were invited to brunch at the home of  long time friends Terry and Carol Kessel and both the food and company were excellent.
  

• Happy Anniversary this week to: Keren and Ofer Levin (21), Nancy and Witney Burrows (23)
