Steve Noble interviews Martin Noble - on Zoom (July 7th: 2.30)

Davnob received the following intriguing email from Steve Noble:

Dear Family.

It is my privilege to be asked (actually pushed by Joan!) to interview our Martin for one of the weekly sessions being run by our Synagogue …”Meeting Writers".  Below is all the information relating to it and the link to the Zoom meeting - with meeting number and password in case the link doesn’t open. 

It should be interesting and I hope I do justice in interviewing Martin. Hope you can make it, but if not, it is being recorded and can be accessed about a week later on the Mosaic website.

Much love,   Steve x

Shame Pudding - a (Noble) graphic memoir

For those who have somehow overlooked the intense interest shown on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and in the world of Graphic Novels, Davnob is delighted to bring to your attention the trailer for Danny's forthcoming Graphic Memoir (available in UK from Blackwells and Amazon, and in US from (appropriately) Barnes and Noble. You don't want to miss it!

A celebration of the wacky and wonderful Jewish grandmothers who nurtured the author as she grew from a kid struggling with anxiety and insecurity to a teen finding her own voice.

Hello, Fresno, Goodbye

As Steffi recently said, 'We came from a large family, and whenever there were get-togethers, we kids had to do party pieces. Clive's was always very popular and we tried to do it along with him, but never managed it.....fast forward 70 odd years, and my very talented cuz has now honed it to perfection.'

Of course DAVNOB could not resist the temptation to repost such talent for posterity...

In 1991, Davnob asked family members to send in a short (150 words) account of what they were doing on November 12th 1991.  28 years later this is now an amazing historical family artifact with contributions from Audrey Riley, Benje Noble, Catherine Davidovitz, Charlie Noble, Clive Noble, Daniella Noble, Danny Davidson, Edie Noble, Gittel Jackson, Jean Davidson-Kirk, Joan Fligg, Jonathan Davidson, Jonathan Fligg, Jonathan Noble, Judy Frankel, Kathleen Davidson, Frances Davidson, Liz Davidson, Martin Noble, Min Robins, Noah Rose, Oliver Davidson, Paul Noble, Rafael Sallon, Roger Noble, Ruthie Noble, Sara Noble, Sara Saville, Shishlik, Sidney & Helene Noble, Sophie Noble, Steffi Rose, Steve, Joan and David Noble, Timna Rose, Iri Foreman, David Frankel and Jeremy Frankel.
