IVAN'S SEVENTH BIRTHDAY BASH CELEBRATED IN VICTORIA FALLS, ZIMBABWE!

Ivan is the recipient of a birthday party at a restaurant in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe called The Boma. He's all smiles because the group that played music and sang that evening was nice enough to sing the birthday song...in a Zimbabwean language (I think it was Shona). Needless to say, Ivan was very pleased. He was also very happy to receive some nice gifts, including a lion's claw from his father. Sadly, the gift was later stolen in a burglary of our living quarters while we away on yet another mini-vacation in Durban, South Africa. We cherish the memory of his seventh birthday in Africa, but the loss of his lion's claw necklace in a later burglary will also never be forgotten. A few months later the stolen necklace was replaced by another one purchased by his father, John Davidek. I made a special trip back up to Zimbabwe just to replace the stolen item...Ivan cried over the loss of it and I was determined to replace it with another one.
