The unseen Summit photographer, moustachioed and bearded — Mishak
The boss and his assistant prepare breakfast — you might think the boss is making bacon, but it’s actually chicken. Assistant concentrates on removing omelette from pan.
Having survived breakfast, it’s time for dinner — lamb shanks, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, all prepared by Winnie, Jerome’s consort. Stories and breakfast; stories and dinner and stories in between.
Messages posted to the Czernowitz-L group must be in Plain Text format. If you don’t understand what Plain Text means, here’s a very simple explanation:
Text documents come in two flavours – rich text and plain text. Plain text, as you might have guessed, is rather plain. It supports standard ASCII characters, including numbers, letters, symbols, punctuation and spaces, but does not support any type of text formatting. Therefore you cannot apply bold, italic, or underlined styles, and you cannot use different fonts or font sizes or colours in a plain text document. Because plain text does not contain information about text sizes or styles, it is the most efficient way to store text. Plain text documents often take up less than half the size of rich text documents containing the same number of characters. It is also the most secure format short of using encryption.
Another way of looking at plain text is to think of a standard typewriter of old — one font, one size, one colour, and a limited number of characters. Compare this to word processed documents.
The List software requires plain text. If your message is not in plain text, the moderators have to edit out the rich text from the message by hand. This is a time consuming process, and sometimes results in lost and/or unreadable messages.
Now, how to post in Plain Text with Gmail:
In FirstPic (below), you’ll see there is a little grey arrow in the Lower Right corner of the Compose message screen (next to the trash can).
Click on that arrow and you get SecondPic. Then click on Plain Text Mode and you’ll see a check mark appear to the left of the word “Plain” (ThirdPic)
Click anywhere back in the text of your message and the menu in lower right will disappear and you’ll see the words “Plain Text” (Third Pic) appear briefly at the bottom bar of your message, followed by the word “Saved”.
You only have to do this once, all messages you send will be in Plain Text from then on, unless of course, you change it back.

Dear Lucca,
My name is Irene Fishler and I live in Haifa. 2 weeks ago I joined the Czernowitz2006 Group. Today I looked at your photos-collection on the Cz.- L group site. Since then I am going through a big excitement, I hardly calmed down. It’s about the Meisler Schule.
Tante Lea was my mother Leonore (Lea ) Ehrenkranz , geb. Kraemer.
Frau Singer was my beloved Tante Flora (geb. Kraemer).
Frau Direktor Meisler was their Tante Berta, my grandmother’s sister. It was a women- family- business and a teacher’s dynasty. I myself was for 26 years a teacher in Haifa, now retired…
Where do you live in Israel? I’ll be pleased to talk to you. What language do you prefer: Hebrew, Rumanian or German?
Can you please write your phone number? When do you like me to call?
Best wishes
Irene
============================
Dear Irene,
I think that I am not less excited than you were when looking at the Meisler schule photos!
I published them – I think – more than a year ago and up to now nobody reacted, I so hoped to hear from a previous school friend – and now, here, I get a much more exciting reaction from someone who was part (at least indirectly) of my early and really so happy years of my childhood!!
I loved “Tante Lea”! And Mrs. Singer, oh well, what can I tell you? Up to the present time I thank her in my heart for my fluent written German (as an executive secretary in foreign languages she contributed to my profession)/ One of my most priced possessions is a letter I received from her which arrived from Bucharest to the small island in the Caribbean where I spent 8 years with my parents.
Generally, those years in the Meislerschule were the happiest of my childhood because, as you know so well, our troubles started in 1940, when I was 10 years old. I never managed to visit the Carmen Sylva Lyceum which my parents had chosen for me!
My mother language is still German, I am also still fluent in Rumanian, but do not have much opportunity to use it. I too live in Haifa, for the last 1 1/2 years in the Elisha Towers (not due to health problems but due to personal tragedy, which I will tell you about.) I have one daughter plus family in San Diego, I just returned from there two weeks ago, and I have a married son in Frankfurt . My telephone number is 8100703, cellphone 052-3800531 unfortunately I often forget it at home …
Please, PLEASE, Irene call me! Elisha is full of activity, fitness center, swimming pool, all kinds of programs every day at 6 p.m. I do whatever I can! Best time to reach me is from 1 p.m. to 2, or in the evening after 9.
I am so looking forward to hearing from you.
In the meantime a hug,
Lucca
Herrengasse, seventy-eight years ago today: Str. Iancu Flondor!
Berti Glaubach: By chance saw this announcement of the foto atellier that was before the opening of Cafe Vienna and is mentioned in the German article. I think it was in Cornel’s collection.
Herrengasse, ten years ago today, in May 2002: Not yet a pedestrian area!
Three doctors at Wiener Café, one year ago today, in May 2011:
Dr. Cornel Fleming, Dr. Josef Bursuk, Dr. Harry Jarvis
See you at Wiener Café – Cofetaria Vieneza – Віденська кав’ярня!
CBCradio:“She was from Czernowitz”; Vancouver writer Shula Klinger, raised on hazy family stories and old photos of people nobody could identify, searches for information about her grandmother whose early life in a cultured central Europe city was shattered by anti semitism and the rise of the Nazis.

Dear friends,
Here is a first picture of Hedwig with her Order of Merit received today in
