Hi Cathy,
Betty your sister and I were in the same class in the 60s.
I last saw you at the reunion in Table View 1993 when Betty still lived in Table View.
I spoke to your brother Alan on Friday 25/07/2008 and mentioned this site to him. He was telling me that you and him are the only Austins left in South Africa. My company and Alan's are hoping to do business in the near future.
I see you are also in a few photographs in the 60s OPS photograph hestion. David and Bev Eyre, an ex Omunder, lived at Penhill for a while a few years back.
Give my regards to Betty when you speak to her again
Keep well

Hi Richard. Yes I remember you as well. I have a photo of the boys soccer team and you are in it. Betty is in the UK and doing very well for herself. She lost her husband a few years back. She has 2 of her daughters near her. Yes Alan and I are the only ones brave enough to stay here I surpose. I vagely remember David Eyre. We have been here for 30 years. It is a nice quite place to stay. Away from all the noise. I must say I dont remember seeing you at the reunion. Well keep well. Cathy
Hi Cathy,
You may not have seen the 1993 reunion photographs?
If not go to "Things I remember about Oranjemund" and look for "Oranjemund reunion 1993 in Table View Cape Town" or search reunion. The photographs were all taken by me, so I am the camera guy. ha ha!
Give my love to Betty when you speak to her again.
Keep well.
Richard
Hi Cathy,
Greetings from Dieter & Patricia Heiser,
We live in Table View

Hi Cathy I remember your family very well. Betty and I met at the High school here in Table View as a meeting and our conversation set the ball
rolling for a Omund reunion. It was great fun. I was in conctact with Joyce when she stayed in this area but have not heard from here since she
left. Trevor stayed with you all at your parents home in Omund when my parents had their car accident on the Port Nolloth road.
Great to hear from you. Please give us some more news of the family. Thks Pat Heiser (Dodd)
Hi Cathy,
Yes, I do remember you too, and all the guys that have responded bring back a lot of memories.
This site is wonderful and is like Georg said a whole new family
Keep well
Gerrit
@ Gerrit, how you doing? I hope and trust that all is well with you and family. Long time no see or hear LOL
Amazing! Cathy has been a dental patient of mine for more than 10 years. Little did I know she's an "old OMDer" as well. I knew her by her married surname only.
Cathy struggled a bit with posting replies, but I gave her a few tips and showed her around on the site today after she visited. Cathy, hope you're managing! Call if you're stuck! You'll be chatting away soon!
Wow! the world is getting smaller by the day... Great stuff bertie!
