I saved this because our golden retriever, Shenzi, and myself are featured on page 11. There might be something else of interest to someone in the gazette.

Stunned by Sandy's acute memory. I had totally forgotten Blithe Spirit which, I think, was written by Noel Coward. It was a hilarious comedy, very professionally done by the Players. Pops Lovett, if my recall serves me well, played the part of Madame Acarti, the medium who calls up the ghost of the main character's first wife. She was a superb actor. In later years she shone even more in her backstage work where she and Joyce Hammond ran the costumes department, producing the most superbly designed costumes for all kinds of plays and musicals.
Hi just noticed this...Madam Acarti was played by my mom Marge Gilmour I was the doctor and Daphne  Holland my wife. Cheers Clive Gilmour

Hi Bruce your last post (over a year ago) here was about being the first family in Oranjemund. I spent a few years there and would have spent more but for the fact that my eldest son went to school there and would have to be boarded out to Cape Town. My wife Margaret pulled the plug and so returned to the UK, I would have liked to stay longer but a marriage is a two way give and take and I have been giving for 56 years and suppose will keep on and No I don't do FACEBook.   allgood

Georg will always be known to as the Electrician from 3 Plant and along with the late Mike Stenson helped moderate this forum in it's early and more busy days.

I too recall the odd Skype session with Georg, one in particular was when the late  Frau Anita Reschke was visiting at my house in Omund and Georg called, the two of them sat there talking about the past in the German narrative.

Georg had a wealth of knowledge about the mining area and in particular the 3 plant commissioning.......

To the entire Ruf family, my sincere condolences on his passing,
