Chairman, Jewish Museum, Cape Town.
e-mail: donde@gem.co.za

All his working life he was a successful and innovative poultry farmer, just outside Cape Town, in an area called Tokai. His Tokai Breeding Farm exported day-old chickens and eggs to many other parts of Africa, as well as within South Africa.

At one stage he was elected Honorary President of the South African Poultry Farmers Association. In the last few years, he changed from poultry to grape farming, and his grapes were used to make various types of wine - Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, and Cabernet. For many years Julian was also active on the Committee of the South African Jewish Museum in Cape Town (founded by his father), and like him was a patron of the Arts.

From Lorraine Fisher's Mom:

He was apparently so beautiful that he could pass off as a woman. He went off to England and somehow got the rights to the manufacture of Black & Dekker tools here in SA. SA was not allowed to import these things, and nor was England allowed to export to SA, so Louis, dressed as a woman, smuggled the plans and specs for B & D tools in his "bosom".
