Vacation Target

12/27/2024

6 Comments

 
One of my oldest friends, Brad, who was a big help with the QSO Today Virtual Ham Expos, decided this week to take a vacation, with his wife,  to Tel Aviv for a few days to enjoy the city life, the restaurants, and the pleasant walks on the beach and surrounding attractions.  He and his wife particularly liked a walking tour of buildings in Tel Aviv that were Bauhaus, a modern German style popular during the  1930s.  Of course, Brad and his wife had a wonderful few days. 

Tel Aviv is a happening city and many Israeli's who don't live in the city,  work or visit to enjoy its museums, concert halls, and attractions.  Tel Aviv is also the bullseye for Houthi ballistic missiles and drones in the last week or two.  Like most Israeli's now,  we live and play normally, even if our cities are under attack.  One night at two on the morning, our friends made new friends, in pajamas, in the hotel stairs, as the missile warning system blared across our land.  

Perhaps human beings are infinitely adaptable to places and situations.  We Israelis adapt to our surroundings and situations. Our desire in Israel to be normal in abnormal situations, especially, when the situation drags on, now over a year.   We pray for peace in "Jerusalem", the whole land of Israel, and a time that will limit our social opportunities in the middle of the night on the hotel stairs. 

​73, Eric 4Z1UG

Chag sameach, Eric. Israel has made spectacular security gains in the past 14 months. May the light of the hannukiah and a new secular year finally bring peace.

Continuing to pray that this can be brought to a close.
May God bless and guide all of us.

I had the pleasure of meeting and visiting Eric at his home this past Sunday, December 29, 2024. He specifically asked me to tell everyone he is recovering strength from his treatments and has high spirits.

Thank you, Eric, for warmly granting me that opportunity this past Sunday. Far more more significantly, thank you for all you do to promote fellowship and goodwill within and beyond the amateur radio community.
