The notice to the readers:


I have compiled the stories about our life in BAMBURI near MOMBASA under the subtitle GATE TO OUR GOLDEN AGE from the many letters that I found in my mother’s legacy. There are hundreds of letters written to our parents and families in Osijek and Zagreb since our departure for the Sudan in December 1961.

My mother had collected and saved chronologically all our letters we had written since leaving Yugoslavia in 1961 for good. Of course nobody had the knowledge about our firm decision that was mainly influenced by my political state of affairs after I stayed alive by surviving the horrors of „My Death March” in May 1945. [See and read more in my web-site at URL: http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~zzspri/.]

I composed the following stories 45 years after we had come to Kenya. The described events have so many details and numerous facts that I certainly could not narrate them just from my memory. I am extremely grateful to my mother’s dedication collecting all these letters of correspondence. I hope you would enjoy reading stories referring to our life in Kenya from August 1964 until February 1967.
