Nobody asked for this pic, but it has bearing to Sheena, Sandy and Sandy...
Hi Mike, That is a wonderfull photo of my Nanny. Just like I remember her. She was a lovely person, always smiling and always spoiling us.
Auntie Jean and Uncle Sandy ... he was my Godfather and Auntie Jean my Godmother .... they stayed in first avenue , Remember Beth ? I spent many happy hours at my Auntie Jeans .... got some photos too will submit when scanned ... Last time I saw Auntie Jean alive was in Bloemfontein when she was staying with her one daughter .. uncle Sandy did Photography in the early years , got a picture of me the one day they tried to take a pic and I refused to smile .... Its priceless ... all kinds of toys stuffed in my arms Noddy , Big ears etc . to no avail , so they took a picture of this scowling little boy ...
Hi Sandy, I am Jean & Sandy's grand daughter. Mary the daughter in Bloemfontein died a couple of years ago. Beth is in Durban and eventually got married and has 2 kids. Think they are 19 and 21 now.
my mum and dad ( Gladys and Harry) Smith was a good friend of aunty Jeans and uncle Sandys and my sister kay was a good friend of Beths
Hi Sheena ,
Ok Blast from past .. I can picture you now ... Keep the memories flowing .. Sandy
Aunty Jean,Uncle Sandy from Mavis
I presume you are referring to Beth Laughlin...who got me into serious trouble (at the tender age of about 6 I think) when she convinced me that I should bunk brownies (easy!) and could ride her bike (with her in the saddle) by sitting on the handlebars and steering (myself? - God, I know I was (am!!!) blond but really) down the dirt road on 2nd Ave. Needless to say I came short and got quite hurt and was left to my own devices to explain to my folks why I was 1) late, 2) bleeding from my leg, arm, face etc and 3) (more importantly) causing disruption to their Friday night "guests" (pissup with their mates).
With bearing to Auntie Jean . yes they were all part of what my mom called her " gang " that was in their wild younger days .... I have some more of Auntie jean and uncle Sandy . I attach some pics of other old timers faces ... ( for those growing up in that era .. )
