I rented a private dining room the Berwick  for the family at Christmas. I asked the chef to prepare a turkey dinner like I would have had at home. The staff here did a super job, everything one could want.Our group consisted of three granddaughters and their husbands plus two Great-grandsons (6 and 4 years) and two Great-granddaughters (4 and 2).

Some of the decorations, note what an artist did to all the windows at Berwick ... the murals are all different.

The even cooler part is it is the stone home where we got engaged!

South Africa Kruger National Park

To see the animals in their full glory,

In Oct 1972 I visited South Africa as a guest of the Steel Company "ISCOR" and they took me on and paid for a four day tour to Kruger Park. I went reluctantly assuming it would no more interesting than the  African Lion Safari near Hamilton but much to my surprise it turn out to a fascinating  place

Visited in 1973
