Dear Jordan,
I was a fond player of Karateka on my father’s Apple // ❤️
My grandfather was born and raised in Czernowitz before he moved to France ... in Montpellier.
What a world of coincidences :)
I’m sincerely filled with emotion to read your words on this mailing list.
Thank you for sharing your family history.
François.

It includes his reminiscences, descriptions, and photographs of life in Czernowitz, as well as his later life in Vienna and New York.
