Alexander Kann, his wife Olga Kann and their friend

o the left is my father Alexander Kann, next to him is my mother Olga Kann and next to her one of their friends. The picture was taken in the house of my parents' friend in Tallinn in 1970.

My parents had a lot of friends. Once a week they got together to play bridge. Very often guests came over not only on holidays and birthdays, but without any occasion: when they simply wanted to see my parents. They had a wonderful company of friends. When all of them got together, our house was full of people. Our living was very moderate, but we always found money to treat our guest. Our table was never empty. It was usual for us to have 30 people in our place. All of them were very funny, quirky and friendly. They also arranged some trips, jaunts etc. It was a good and joyful life.
