About George Pivac

  • bio zarucen za nedu babic, razvrgnuo zaruke nakon sto je izgubio ruku
  • translation from the book "Batili su ocean" by SMiljana Sunde page 746, mentioned also on page 569

Neda B., and Grgur have fallen in love and have agreed to find their life hapiness in New Zealand. They agreed he will go first,and when he earns enough money, will pay for her trip. They parted with firm promise from each one of them to be faitfull and that they will marry in New Zealand. But, next year Neda received a letter from Grgo where he is informing her that he was injured in accident at work and lost his hand. He is afraid there will be no marriage, as he will be unable to feed himself, and he will have no means to provide for a wife and children. He asked for forgivness, and that she should look for her hapiness with some other young man. He does not know if he is ever going to marry. Nede was saddened and disappointed and later married man from Podgora, where her descendants still live. Grgo also married later to a New Zealand wife Marjorie.
