The American Davidsons are hosting a lunch on April 14th, 2019, at Pembroke College, Cambridge for family and friends to remember Daniel, who died in Cambodia on August 11th, 2018, at the age of 49. They have sent Evites to Davnobs and other family and friends in the UK, so if you haven’t already done so you may post your RSVPs or other messages directly in response to the Evite. If for some reason you didn’t receive the Evite please let Davnob or Jonathan ( davidsonj3@comcast.net ) know. A couple of guests asked if they could stay in College, so Jonathan sent a follow up Evite message confirming that this is indeed possible for any who may be interested on a first-come-first-served basis, and hopefully those who choose to stay can get together for breakfast. If you need accommodation or parking information please let Jonathan know. For those who may need an update or refresher on the transatlantic Davidsons, they are Daniel’s parents, Frances and Jonathan; Daniel’s birth daughter Lyna, who turns 16 in March, has lived with Frances and Jonathan in Washington DC since May, 2005 and was formally adopted by them in September, 2010; Daniel’s sister Joanna, who lives in Boston with her husband, Bobby Milstein, and their children Jasper (13), who will celebrate her bat mitzvah in June, and Zoly (6). All will travel together for the event in Cambridge and they look forward to greeting as many of you and your families as possible.
Davnob is sad to announce that Jane died on December 19th after a long illness. Iri and Noam were with her.
Jane became a Davnob in 1959 when Bill and Min married, and Steffi, Jane, Roger and Ricky (Peetamber) grew up together in London, and at various times over the next few years moved to Israel. In 1964 Jane married Iri Foreman, and over following years, in Bet Haemek, Rechovot and Gedera, had four children, Margie, Sara, Oded and Noam. When the family had grown up, Jane travelled with Iri as his work took him to China, Uganda and Kenya. Eventually, when they retired, they settled in Dunoon, overlooking the Firth of Clyde. Jane was an enormously hospitable and generous person as many in the family will know. Over many years she brought those qualities to her political, community and charity work in the many places she lived. She was interesting and stylish, and fun to be with. The last few years showed her to be strong, determined and very stoical. Our love and condolences to Iri, Margie, Sara, Oded, Noam and their families.
