RE: Please keep writing!

I absolutely agree with David. I do not have an exact view whether we
should or should not write about subjects which are not related directly
to Czernowitz, but I do know that we have to be tolerant, kind and
respectful to eachother.
Lucca I hope very much you will keep writing.

Asunto: Please keep writing!

Dear Lucca,

While the principal interest of many of the correspondents to the group
is
genealogy, this of less interest to myself and to my mother Erica. It
is
not that I am not interested in genealogy - rather that our knowledge of
our
family tree is so limited that it would be very difficult to start to
make
wider connections.

My interest principally centres on what life was like in pre-war
Czernowitz - details of people's lives, what the town was like, shops,
Temple, etc etc. Now not many of our contributors to the group seem to
have
actually lived in Czernowitz at this period, were old enough to absorb
and
remember details of the way of life, and actually write to the group
about
them. You are one of those who do! So Erica and I especially value
your
contributions.

So please, do not take certain adverse comments to heart. We are very
much
looking forward to further vignettes of Czernowitz life from you. We
all
benefit from your being a "natural and compulsive writer"!

Best regards,

David

Mr Levy,
I seem to offend you every time I open my mouth...so what about deleting
my
messages before reading them? I don't have any intention of hurting
anyone's
feelings, we have our common roots in the Bucovina that's true, but many
years have gone by and our lives continued and continued...
I was under the mistaken impression that I had joined a group of people
who
are friendly and where one can utter here and there an opinion not
connected
with our distant past. I am a natural and compulsive writer, and believe
me,
for the few people who object to my "digressing", there a few others who
react in a friendly manner as one would to the remarks of an e-mail
co-correspondent.

I think it would be a good idea to stop writing to this group for a
while...
Lucca
