Dear Special friends from Oman & Zanzibar
For the first time Betty and I were greeted with special friends from OMAN, Muscat - a very pleasant surprise.
Salim Kharusi and his wife Nassra with their naphew Sami visited us at 5 Parklands Way, Worcester Park, Surry with special guests Derek, Diana and Patsy de Lord.
What a special reunion this was, first of all Benny meeting up with Salim Kharusi after 44 years.
For a little background, Salim is the brother of the late Muthir Kharusi who unfortunately drowned in Zanzibar during a Spear Fishing trip off Chumbe Island.
19-year-old Muthir Kharusi, eldest son of Sheikh Hamoud Kharusi, was a member of one of the oldest and most respected families of Zanzibar, and a keen member of Zanzibar's Sports Board.
Special guests Derek, Diana and Patsy who joined us at a luncheon party made it a perfect get-together where Derek was the main man 'bringing back all the memories and contacts of folks in Zanzibar' and how he knew everyboday, only to discover that Salim's wife Nassra was his next door neighbour in Zanzibar. Salim, Nassra and Derek had so much to talk about as Derek and Diana who also visited Oman had met up our unlimited Arab friends from Zanzibar.
The world is getting closer together with us meeting from all over the Globe.
