Israel 1967: in the summer of 1949 part of my family emigrated to Israel to live on a kibbutz. I lost track of them and didn't know where they were in Israel. In 1966 my stepfather in Israel wrote a letter to my dad at the last address he knew - the high school where my dad taught in 1948. Amazingly, someone at the high school remembered a local newspaper article about my parents teaching at Stanford and the letter was forward to my mom at Stanford, and then to me. I exchanged letters with my stepfather who was living on kubbutz Ma'agan Michael in Israel. When the 6-Day War broke out in June 1967, I decided to visit in the Fall of 1967 for around 6 weeks. On the way to Israel, I spent a day at Exp 67, the World Fair in Montreal, Canada.
