June 2006 addition

I am retired and am now a full time grandmother with 3 grandchildren Since the last time Isubmitted information, my daughter has had identical twin girls, Maddison and Gemma, who are now going on 2 years old. We hope to be in Israel next year - so far its been too hectic helping out with the twins, only someone who has had twins will truly recognise how difficult that is. Louis deVries once said, the first three years are hell. Whilst it hasn't quite been that it has had its moments.

Family:

Married to Shlomo (known as Mony) a few days before the  Six Day War which was our honeymoon.Returned to Australia after the war and continued studying  and working. Subsequently had 2 daughters named Leora and Yael who are both teachers. Leora is marrried to Mark and they have a son, my only  grandchild so far, named, Kobe.

Education:

Graduated in 1961 and went to work in Sydney for 2 years  where I renewed my friendships with our Sydney colleagues.

Returned to Melbourne and went to  Israel in 1966.  Completed PhD in  psychology in 1987.  Still working as a Psychologist.
