Strange to tell but I know Mel Levi well. Not now but we are LGS together and hung around the Chromagnon at Moortown Corner. I never liked Mel or disliked him. But today I am proud of him. We went different ways. Yesterday a mutual friend of our died tragically. Pete Schooman an avid Leeds United supporter. Pete followed his son, David to Israel. David was pointed out to me as young guy from Leeds, a Doctor specialising in Psychiatry. David asked & I agreed to be his mentor. We were thrilled to have found each other. David was gob smacked when I played him the MOT song in a lunatic asylum. Still seems fitting. But tragedy is always lurking and struck. David an avid cyclist was run over and was clinically dead. He was resuscitated by a MD who was following and witnessed the car run David over. Unbeknownst to the Doc, David had fracture his highest cervical vertebra. Now a paraplegic David is struggling to get of a ventilator. There is a saying in Yiddish. 'Man plans and God laughs'. God had a very strange sense of humour in this instance. David had planned a family. His son was born to a paraplegic dad. Reluctantly the three generations sought and found the best possible rehab. That was in Southport and that was where they relocated. As soon as the relocation was completed, a few days ago poor Pete suffered a massive CVA and died. I wanted to share that with you. In an other letter at another time I'll relate why I believe that Bates is a Malevolent Stoat. A piece of shit. We Jews of Leeds, as Anthony Clavane so wonderfully put, have a deep affinity for Leeds. Leeds, the city that sheltered us from the Nazi storm that our less fortunate relatives underwent. Leeds was a home and Leeds United was our place of being at one and at ease. The Jews of Leeds appreciate the goodness and greatness of Leeds. Many of you don't know that Leeds had the highest proportion of Jews in any non Israeli city apart from New York. More than Manchester. Even now with the death of my Mother, I will not break my links with the city which is my place of birth. I love Leeds and sorely miss her at times. I more than adore Leeds United, Leeds United is more than football , it is more than belonging, it is a part of my being, a big part. That is why I loath and detest that evil mother fucking cockney predator who knows nothing about Leeds United but to hurt her.
