Congratulations, Abba!
This is my father. He was born in Jerusalem’s Russian Compound on March 13th, 1921. Elie still works 12 hour days. At this very moment, he’s calling colleagues in Europe and sending out faxes in several different languages. Respect.

i was lucky enough to work on a boat owned by Mr Schalit, the Luis Ginillo, in 1992, he was a great man, we sailed the boat to Spain where he insisted he keep the whole crew aboard for a week and personally drove us everywhere and we sailed on his boat as if we were royalty, this man is a great guy, is he still alive? he must be 95 or so, he was in great shape and spoke 7 languages, he also liked the singer Mercedes Sosa
