Stan & Pete

Stan of "Stan & Pete" puts out a wonderful weekly newsletter in SA. I met him at the Feinblum Wedding. He posted a pic of me on his website (above) and wrote the following.

Last week was the Feinblum / Finkel wedding, which was the night after Miracle Drive, which was ‘Tukka’ a miracle……….and the Lubavitch spirit was like ‘Amollikke Yoren’ and Avremi Gourarie, helped with a few songs, and the Marathan Man (Johnny Birin) was awesome…Avremi is the son of Rabbi and Mrs Winnie Gourarie, Nephew of Rabbi Kurstag & Mrs Batya Kurstag…..(Rosh Beth –Din)….he does a fortune of work in New York, dealing only in religious music, and I remember him from days gone by…….The Kallah’s father Mark feinblum, is of course the Man from Moishies butchery in the Shtetl (Glenhazel)…and hails from Pretoria where his parents still stay………his Late Father In Law, Jackie Drutman was well known to me, and we did a lot of business together……….and in fact Stan & Pete bought the Kosher butcher from him (Hadar’s) and Moishies is what is left of it……..Yislaaaaaaaaaaaik, that was a long time ago……The wedding had tremendous Yiddisher ‘chain’ (spirit)……..

Memories.....
