I met Yael in Alta bates hospital , 1976 . I was injured at worked for Mosler and got a hernia.
Yael was my nurse.
We started dating after I was released from the Hospital.
Yael was an Israeli immigrant who was divorced and had a son Ophir.
THey lived on Roosevelt ave in Berkeley
She had been a military nurse in the IDF
Yael was older than me very smart and interesting to talk with.
We saw the original star wars together.
Drove there in my Mach I
I have maintained sporadic contact with her and have only pleasant memories.
Her Brothe was Moshe.
I learned a few words in Hebrew and a lot about Israeli history.
I asked her why she left ISrael and her reply was. "I wanted to live somewhere that i could drive 100 miles and not find people who wanted to kill me"
She wrote a self published book, "My Paillion" She wrote about me , one of a series of boyfriends.
Strangely the last time we met one of the first things she mentioned was how she was less interested in Men as she got older..
