Are you kidding me?????? I'm sitting here thinking about the absolutely wonderful time I had at Kibbutz and decide to google it...... And I found this beautiful site. Awesome stuff Marty.

I'm giggling all by myself while I'm flooded with all the wonderful memories of those 9 months.

It feels like yesterday really. (I still can't eat a bloody banana!) Wonder if I can still drive a tractor????? I still have the scar on my forehead where the tree fell on my head! A constant reminder of my time there.

A *** shout out to everyone that I met there (sorry if I forgot your name )
Marty, Phyllis the Great, Danny (Mr G&T himself), Zsolt, Graham, Tamir, Thomas, Scott & Jeanette (the 2 crazy ones), Annerose, Judith, Penny, Sue, Viv, Emma, Jenny, Lisa, Hanna, Tammy, Deon, Sheri, Martin, Liam, Rowan, Korean girls. And the 2 Oz boys - Blair and someone

Wow - my time at kibbutz was such a life changing experience!!!

I would so love to hear from all of you.

Hi - I came to Tel Katzir as a volunteer at the end of 1971 and believe or not, I am still here. Neville - I remember you well and I am still in contact with Linda and Barry, Barbara and Larry, Mutzi and Ira. Do you remeber the Einstein brothers? They worked in the Refet. Helene is also still here - she came in 1972. Who else is on this guestbook and still remembers me? I worked as a nurse here - before that as a dental assistant and before that in the dining-room and kitchen.

Hi, I was there in the early 80s. I guess it was 83. Neville put me on the list as 'Cloggy' and I think most people only know me by that name. First I worked in bananas, later in the chicken shed. I remember Neville, Clive, Robert, PJ, JP, Richard. There were some girls to, but the only name that comes to mind is Jane.
