13-02 1948 Camp Photo subject identifies self:
Hello ! My name is David Black and I appear as the first person on the left in photo number 4 in the 1948 camp at Woori Yallock. I am standing next to John Jagoda who stands next to Barry Rawlins ( or maybe his young brother Adrian). Yesterday I attended the official opening of Betar at Central Shule Centre and it was wonderful. My 9 year old grand daughter attends Betar there. I remember very well Josef Steiner, Shimshon Kamil, Sam Gold, Shimshon Feder, Jack Mirjam. I am 77 years old and am a chiropractor in Armadale. My wife Ruth and I are deeply involved with Central and look forward to having future functions with Betar. Best regards, David Black.
