Cousin Susan Rotter got married this past Sunday in Vienna. Please tell David. He met her when we were in Vienna -- we spent an afternoon together.
Regards, Debbie

What wonderful news!
Thanks for sharing the news, Debbie.
I’ll email Susan and say hi/congrats!
Was it the same guy she was dating when we were there? Robert was his name, wasn’t it?

yes, Robert. It is good news for both her and Elias.
I hope you are well. What are you up to? Our Rachel just had her Bat Mitzvah, and Daniel is finishing up wih school. Racheli and David will go to summer camp, and in August, our David will move permanently to Israel.
Aviva (22), is dating very seriously.
Regards, Debbie

Wow, lots of goings on! They grow fast. Family is so nice.
I’m adjusting to the divorce process. NC requires 1 year separation before divorce is allowed, and that comes up for me in a couple months. Still waiting on a ‘settlement’ agreement. Trying to keep busy with friends and activities. Been taking Salsa/Mambo dance classes for the past 5 months, and that has been intimidating but also lots of fun :).
Please say hello to all the kids for me, and to Robert as well.
---Dave.

I recall that when we were in Vienna, you said things might head to divorce, so I guess I am not surprised. Being a dancer should make you an even more interesting "catch". I cannot wait to see you on Dancing with the Stars.
Not having kids should make the divorce process easier and more permanent. Is it amicable?
Any travel plans? Any plans to come to NYC???
Keep well and keep in touch. Debbie

Yes. We just kept working on the 1st steps in the counseling process and I had to accept that it wasn’t going to get better. Dunya’s a super gal, but she would not let go of her defense mechanics to grow the marriage. It’s tough, but healthier for me. She would rather not divorce, but given the pain caused by separation now, I suspect she sees no alternative – although I haven’t had contact with her since December.
Got a possible trip to Newport, RI coming up in September – 25 reunion of my Navy class from up there. Otherwise, I still wait on a settlement arrangement before I can really plan anything (I’m still covering both our expenses). After that, I hope/expect it will become better financially.
Met a nice Jewish woman, I’m trying to get her interested in dating. She said she would be, but is just recently broken off with her ex-boyfriend and isn’t quite ready yet for another ‘entanglement’. I can understand that – took me 7/8 months until I found myself actually ready. Hopefully that might work out, and perhaps we can take a nice visit to ‘The City’ :).
Love,
---Dave.

How is your mother doing?

Thanks.
Mom is hanging in there. She has good days and bad days now. Got some kind of infection and has recently finished the antibiotic regime for it. Both the infection and the antibiotics put her under the weather. She occasionally gets low blood count and feels lethargic, but somehow doesn’t connect the two, and resists going to get a blood transfusion. Then also when she’s not feeling well, her appetite wanes and she doesn’t eat properly, which contributes to feeling lethargic. I’ve managed to convince her that she needs to force herself to eat more than she wants to when she’s feeling poorly because it will help her energy level. I’ll have to do the convincing again next time, I’m sure :).
I’ve been getting down there a lot this past 9 months. Wish I had more vacation time to go more often.
---D.
