'Waiting to go to Yugoslavia with an UNRRA mission, she volunteered to take a party of Yugoslav refugee singers from El Shatt camp shopping in Cairo. She was introduced to Zivko Klakovic as a relative for a joke, but a few questions established that Zivko was her father's cousin. He told her that her father's brother, Naste, was also at the camp. Ann went to El Shatt with Zivko and the picture shows Zivko introducing her to his wife while Naste looks on. (Photo by Mihanoff).'
