I think you right,and the guys all thought they looked cool with those hairdo's. Shame Dieter is quite bald now.That girl,with the smoke, looks very familier not one of the Carr girls perhaps?

I do not think she is a Carr girl. Group a lot older than Carr girls.

Girl with long hair facing camera may be Jennifer Langford? Guy talking to her Terry Dunster?

Lady with back to camera Dieter's wife?

Gray matter not too good!

Yes her husband did have a diving accident and that certainly looks like her. Will get Dieter to have a look

Thanx Viv. I do remember a diving accident as well.

Yes! Jimmy Jones is still here, Dawn is still here, Gloria passed away about 3 years back.... But the question is... is that Gloria in the pic?

looks more like Dawn - she had darker hair than Gloria. I might be wrong but i am sure that Gloria had a lighter shade of brown and Dawn was dark brown.

I'll ask Dawn when I see her in the shop again....time to solve the mystery....

Gus is right, Nick was killed in a car accident, coming back from a diving trip, I think it was near Groote Schuure?

My guess that is Dawn in the photograph and not Jennifer Langford and not Terry Dunster, but Jackie Joseph?

Cheers

Well Dawn has returned the verdict and the long haired lady in the centre of the photo is non other than herself... Dawn Johnson, the chap on the left of her is Nigel Borrain with Mike Burgess next to him, eating something...Skip one person further down the left habd side and the lady staring at the table is Mike's wife , Ruday....

Thanks Dawn

This was way before my time but the guy eating the chop looks a lot like Theo Weyers

Confirmed as Mike Burgess, by Dawn who is the main focus of the pic.... The people really knew how to throw party's in those hazy days!
