 Anwar,  Here's the picture of our newest Shweiry Zoe Corban Banks, what a gorgeous looking baby.  Mom looks great after the delivery.  May the lord bless and protect all our people in Ibiza.  I guess Helena is going to have a great smile when she sees this picture if she hasn't already

From an email sent from Edrick to Al Mukhtaar on March 21, 2001

Hi from Ibiza where the fig trees are greening and budding. The grapes growing in bushes lebanese style and are sprouting. The almond trees have finished their blossom now have fruit and the olives already have the beginnings of fruit.

Remember it was our ancestors the Phoenecians who established this island.  The archicture is all Phoenecian, the cash crops are what we would find in Lebanon. There are still number of preserved Phoenecian sites where they harvested the salt and had iron works. We`re here with room to spare if any Shweireh would like to visit at anytime and check out what the Phoenecian influence did in one part of Spain. Cadiz is another of course.

I love all these messages coming in. Had I known about this a couple of months ago I could have easily scheduled it in I know my Aunt Helena Ataya and various members of the family will be there. Does this festival happen next year as well? . Shweir on the beach could be a possibility at some future stage.

Blessings

Edrick.

Dear George, 

With the flood of e-mail of the last 24 hours re-Dhour not much chance of losing contact. George, I didn't know you are a musician and your son.  Clare and I were both professional musicians before I was ordained. I was full time for 20 years as a concert classical guitarist. Clare was with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra for 3 years.

I read my cousin Miriams letter I guess all those from Shweir are related somehow, but the Mattars in NZ have strong family connections with the Corbans, Two Corban sisters married two Matar brothers.

Hey this Shweir on the beach sounds amazing. I have sent a photo of the family. ( I'm the Lebanese looking one) 
Lets keep in touch.  
Kind regards  
Edrick
