Title: 34 - 3rd and E42 - 11th
Post by: Patricia Lotte on April 03, 2008, 09:47:56 AM
Hey Mike, when you're next riding around town, could you take a photo of our houses  pls. I did take some when I sneaked into town ......, but I'd love to have recent ones. And while you're in 3rd avenue, maybe you can take a snap of the ex-neighbours (the Ruf's house) at 36 - 2rd avenue  e154

Oops, the neighbours should be 36 - 3rd avenue, and not 2nd avenue. Can't remember who lived there. If I remember well, the Wilsons used to live just behind us in 2nd avenue ebfore moving to the other side of town. Paula or Julie should be able to confirm that.

Thanks Patricia for the request.
Wilsons lived behind us??? Give me a hand. I don't remember them at all. I only remember a British family live in 2nd with their "backs" to the gravel road. But i don't think they were the Wilsons. I remember them having a giant table in the kitchen that didn't belong to CDM. Quite unusual in the 70s. there were always good laughs in the family. What surprised me was their consumption of chips!!

chips or crisps?

Post by: georg ruf jr. on April 03, 2008, 11:05:59 AM
seeing that this is an SA site and I'm not Britisch I'd call them chips. Brits would say crisps. or have things changed?

The Wilsons, being Ben and Auriel, Julie, Jacky, Gary and Paula. I'm sure they lived just behind us (other side of the sand road). Don't know if that was also 3rd ave or 2nd, but they were at 28 or 30.

Still haven't a clue. even though i've seen the pics in "The Wilson Girls".
The gravelroad was some kind of extra road between our row of 3rd Ave. houses and the 2nd ave. ones. so actualy they and us had our "backs" to each other.

Hi all, just poped in for a quick look see.

You're right Patricia we lived at 28-2, the dirt road was between your home and ours, then we moved to E28-8 ave.

Georg jnr, what no was you're house in 3rd ave? When I got married we moved into 33-3 ave from 1982 to 1986

Katia's in France. My dad's currently based in Abu Dhabi working on different projects (should be here for maybe one year) and my mom arrives tomorrow for a month. She's just recently finished months of treatment for breast cancer, so we're all eager to put the last year behind us and look forward to better days. Please send our love to your dad. My folks often speak about the good times they spent with your folks. My mom loved to dance with your dad. She always said that only Ben and my grand dad knew how to dance.

Hi there Patricia, must say your mum looks great in the pic when she visited you. but then she always did. Did you tell her about this sight? Is Katia married, do either of you have any kids? Just interested.There's not an awful lot of guys on this sight that I remember, theyre either all a lot younger, the older ones don't seem to want to post...or whatever it's called!!!!! :gum1:
Title: Re: 34 - 3rd and E42 - 11th
Post by: Patricia Lotte on May 12, 2008, 02:46:31 AM
Katia is divorced, no kids and enjoying her freedom. I'm divorced, no kids, and enjoying my freedom. What more can I say ... To be honest, I've always wanted children, but life decided otherwise ... so there're no little Lotte grandchildren ... but, as they say, it's never too late ... so one day maybe !!!
