43	[NurickJulian.FTW] [Carol Lazar] I know lots of stories about Oubaas - including the fact that he used words wonderfully incorrectly. For instance, all his life, he called a fishmonger a fishmongrel (but seriously, not as a joke). Oubaas was a legend in Stellenbosch and once a letter arrived at the post office from England just addressed to Oubaas, Stellenbosch, South Africa. It was delivered to him! [Carol Lazar] Oubaas was always very plump - fat.He started courting Dorothy, who came from a very good family - the Silke's. Her brother (I think it is) is a prominent tax expert. My mother remembers Dorothy (who was even when she was young, a plump lass), coming to the farm and my mom telling Oubaas to "put in his teeth because he was courting Dorothy and shouldn't appear without his false teeth." He did put them in and then always wore them in public. In those days, it seemed in South Africa everyone took out all their teeth - it was the fashion, and replaced them with false teeth. Anyway, Oubaas duly courted Dorothy (who was a lovely sunny person) and they married. It was a very, very happy wedding my mother remembers although Oubaas was not the greatest of speech makers. He worked at various job in a garage, and at one stage he owned a fishmonger. When he answered the phone, he used to say: "Oubaas, the fishmongrel." It apparently was not a joke, he just mispronounced many words. His schooling career was not auspicious and my grandmother's sister-in-law, Oubaas' mother, used to say each year: "Ah, if Oubaas gets through school, they'll print another newspaper announcing the results." Every year Hettie (Shulman) would go along to Paul Roos, the principal of Stellenbosch Boys High School and say to him: "Paul, just put Oubaas up, push him up, he's such a good boy," and thus Oubaas actually made his way, more or less, through high school. Oubaas and Dorothy, although they had nothing (money, that is) helped everyone. My mother said Oubaaas was always kind to people and even if he had nothing, he'd make a plan. He was extremely resourceful. Of all the Levinsohns I met, he was my favorite by far. I'm talking of the older generation. My mom said Oubaas was a great dramatist. Such as, when he wasn't feeling well, he'd say: "I'm going to die!" Anyway, apparently, the day of his heart attack, he looked out of the window, put his hand on his heart and said: "This is the end, this is the last time!" and dropped dead.	LEVINSON, Henry (I355)
