I'm not sure how well these scanned photos will look on receipt. They are photos which (I think) were taken in December 1971. I was a student working in the funiture section during the December vacation- so had the use of the removal truck after hours. We arranged a concert on the beach- some of the photos are of that. Others of 'ander inwoners' and students. Would be great if someone could put names to faces. I recall that 2 of the girls who are photographed alone were sisters. I'm the serious looking guy photographed alone !!
I recall writing a 'hippie style' article about the concert which was published in the local rag.
I think one of the guys was 'spider"- smoking a pipe- also that Dieter Heiser printed the photos for me in his darkroom..

Yup. The name 'Tommy' does ring a really distant memory bell. Remember Cindy- sister Dawn- ? Can't remember other names- or faces. Word oud !! But it was a fun day....

Tommy Slow worked in mining on tracklaying. Whenever the camelback conveyor on the screening plant discard dumps needed moving forward as the dump progressed Tommy would come out to do that. He also looked after the rail track used by the diesel powered trains to take screening plant concentrates to the HMS from the plant concentrate storage bins. Teriffic guy. Always there to help at any time of the day or night. We worked two 10 hour shifts in the late 60s early 70s. Remember his hands for some weird reason. He had fingers like bananas. I think eventually when the rail system of concentrate transport was replased by a road transport system, Tommy did indeed find himself in charge of the furniture store.
Kind regards
