Shimon and Sarina Gershon
These are my uncle Shimon Haim Gershon and his second wife Sarina Gershon. The picture was taken in Plovdiv on 10th January 1929. I remember that I was their bridesmaid. My father and my uncle owned a large shop next to Maritsa pharmacy at that time. Uncle Shimon and aunt Sarina went to Israel in 1948. They continued to be in the trade business there. They had four children: three sons, Zhak, Vitali and Rudi, who are engineers, and a daughter, Rebeca, who is an accountant.
