Title: Hannes Mulder
Post by: Leon Sumter on February 11, 2009, 04:04:45 PM
Had a chat with Hannes Mulder today at College.

Hannes worked as a fitter at number 2 plant from '78 to '84.

He clearly remembers the following work colleagues at 2 plant:

Billy McGrath  (Foreman)
John Hall
Billy Buchanen
Jannie Louw
Barry Ainsworth
Albert Bester and
Marshall Van Rensburg.

Hannes lived in number 3 2nd Avenue and sends his regards to the family and friends of the above folk.
