Spomini iz otroških let
OÄe in mama sta se po poroki leta 1931 naselila na Brezovici pri Ljubljani. Oba sta bila poklicna trgovca in sta se odloÄila, da zaÄneta s trgovino. Najela sta lokal in stavovanje pri KopaÄevih. Po Å¡tirih letih sta se odloÄila in sta zgradila veliko poslopje za trgovino in stanovanje in leta 1935 smo se preselili v svojo hiÅ¡o. OÄe mi je kasneje, ko je priÅ¡el v Ameriko, povedal, da so se krajevni komunisti že takrat pogovarjali, kdo bo lastoval naÅ¡o hiÅ¡o po revoluciji.
