Hi Jeremy,
I am not sure you will remember me and my family, but my parents used to "hang out" with yours.
Bron and Rod Hogan. You were a year older than my little sister Karyn and she was four when we left in 1991, but my mum remebers your folks. She asked me to say hi- if I could.

Something's come up and i don't think i'm gonna be able to make the party tonight - my daughter's also writing exams at the moment and i don't want to drag her away from her books at 8.30pm to sit in the internet cafe -altho i'm sure she would prefer to catch up with her friends on facebook rather than study but i'm not even putting that idea into her head. she's writing afrikaans tomorrow, her worst subject, and needs all the study time she can get. so guys, if i'm not on-line tonight it's not 'cos i'm all talk and no action, i'd so luv to be there and will try my best to make a plan - maybe she'll have all her studies done by then - holding thumbs - i'll be there with you in heart and spirit tho. ROCK ON DUDES & DUDETTES...............................
12 more hours - :auguri1:
OH NO! I wont be awake then!!! Its 4:40 pm now.
My fellow (ex) Oranjemunders, I would just like to inform you that today, Thursday, 26th June 2008,
is the first Anniversary of www.oranjemundonline.com.
The site has been a terrific success, with the forum section ,leading the way.
When I created the site, I added the Forum as an afterthought and in all honesty failed to realise
that this would become the "heart" of the entire site.
We have an unbelievable membership of 481 members, covering more than 1753 topics, which vary in
content from Oranjemund , the past, present and future, Sports, Hobbies, memories, shipwrecks,
photographs, reunions... far to many to mention. A very successful reunion was even organised in
March, with quite a few of the Forums members getting to meet each other.
I have been touched by the number of emails I have received and will be the first to admit that I
get a shiver up my spine each time I hear that old friends have found each other due to the site.
"A sense of mission accomplished!"
Now all this success of the site, is due to all of you, from our Admins, Georgswa ( who is a beacon
to those who think that pensioners are to old to be surfing the net), Mike Stenson, my wingman here
in Oranjemund, Our board moderators, Georg Jnr and Kenny Ramage, and recently to Bertie Horak, who
went beyond the call of duty yesterday and drove in excess of 250km around Cape Town, delivering
bottles of KWV to Cape Town based forum members in preparation for the online "cyber" party
tonight. I guess my wife Michele should also be thanked for allowing me to abuse my internet
connection.
I think above all the largest thanks should go to all of you members who have kept the forum alive
with your input, discussions and memories. These are members who's age vary over a period of 5
decades, but that common thread, which is Oranjemund, still binds us, no matter where in the world
we now reside.
For the technophobes of you out there, the entire site in one year has generated in excess of 60
Gigs of traffic and the forum alone is now sitting on an impressive 910 000 page views, I believe
the 1 million page view record shall be hit by the end of July 2008.
I would also in closing like to extend my sincerest thanks to Annette Schoeman at the Japser House
museum in Oranjemund, who has allowed me to digitize a lot of old photo's and documentation.
If any of you are feeling up to a birthday chat, please feel free to join us online tonight at
19h30 (nam time) 20h30 (Za time). Here is the link to that board -----
>http://www.oranjemundonline.com/Forum/index.php?board=9.0
Those of you who might be interested in attending a Reunion in November.please read the board
explaining the reunion on the forum.
It's been a great ride, enjoy
Mike
Great words Mike!
