Drogi Janek!

?

This is spectacular news!? I am so happy for you!? Sto lat!

It's very strange with my father's birthday.? All these years we celebrated his birthday on August?13th.? His birthday was like a national holiday to him too--I remember a huge party complete with tents and even a belly dancer when he was in his early forties!? (This was due to his love of the Middle East.)? There was no such thing as putting off the celebration to the weekend if the day fell during the week or whenever.? It had to be celebrated on the actual day!? When the Group got the Evacuation list, I was shocked to see that my father's birthday was noted in September!? Although I don't know if I believe this 100 per cent yet, I wonder now when his true birthday is.??I have been putting off for years writing to the Lwow archives for?his certificate and also my aunt's since I've always been concentrating on another area.? My aunt has no idea of her?real birthday, and mystery now surrounds?my father's day.?

Na zdrowie, Janek!
