Do any of you know the whereabouts of one Bill Dutton, the ex hostel manager? I believe when he left Omund, he went onto Okiep and then Phalaborwa.
I hear that Bill has a few excellent tales to tell!
woo_hoo
I visited them in O'okiep when I was in Springbok hostel. Will ask my Dad, he will know.
Spoke to Dad. Unfortunately they lost contact as well, and if we can find him, my Dad would really like to make contact again.
When in Oranjemund, Bill studied archaeology (I think) as well and after getting his degree, left OMD to work in the museum in Cradock for a short while, then went to O'okiep. It is possible that he was transferred to Tsumeb after that, the company he worked for owned both mines.
Like my Dad he was also an avid coin collector.
