I suggest you post the Cell Nr in a private message
I would not like my phone Nr published in the net

Once you have sent the message ask me or Mike to delete the Nr in your post
Georg Ruf
If my memory serves me correct, it was Anne Jones who married Andre du Toit not Caroline.
I agree with Georg, People be careful about posting other peoples email address's pr phone numbers....
the bots or other unwelcomed people might pick them up...
A TIP; post emails like michael@oranjemundonline.com as michael (at) oranjemundonline.com
tell 09264 (six three) two 3 2006
just A tip

Yvette, you right - it was Anne who married Andre. Carolyn married Pierre le Riche - not sure where they are. I saw Anne a couple of Christmas's ago at my aunt's place - was so cool to catch up (we were in std 5 together - she was part of our "pin gang" spoken about in earlier post re School Days at OPS) - Andre's cousin married my cousin - so we're all sort of one big happy family now.
Hi Delia,
I recall you saying somewhere in one of your posts that you live in Table View? 7 years ago I had a shop in Table View's Pick'nPay centre. Framing and carpet business, it was at the first entrance opposite the bank (ABSA, I think) on the left. A few times I bumped into Anne and Andre in the centre. Rian and I lived in Durbanville and at the time Anne and Andre lived in Kenridge. I remember what a stunning couple they made. Maybe the Jones' will pop up on this site sometime soon. Would be nice to hear where they all are in the world.
take care
Hi Dee, still in 1945 I see ;D Carolyn is married to Nigel Evans and lives in the UK as does Marie her elder sister.
Will catch up with you in 2007, happy memories ;)
Luv Julie

Hi Julie - that's right, it's all coming back to me now....Carolyn marrying Nigel Evans, i remember him. We not doing too badly huh for memories from 1945.......... :D Say hi to Carolyn & Marie when you get hold of them.
Yvette, i seem to remember a shop you describe in the pick 'n pay centre altho never had any reason to visit it.......i hate shopping as it is so when I go to p&p, i'm in and out so don't really take note of the shops around me.
Hi Barbara

Julie
Hi
Got hold of Caroline had a good chat, she is going to regiter later on tonight. Once again thanks for her number Julie.
Barbara
Is Caroline family of Chris Jones?
???
Hi Mike
Yes she is, And sister to Ann Jones and Marie.
Barbara
So now I can find Chris Jones...... Went to boarding school with him, though I was a few years behind, Cloin Richards, Chris Jones, Scott Wallace and Alfie Boehme....
Alfie used to bitchslap me around a lot...... I still start to shiver when I see him in the shop.....Hahahahaha! ;) Yeah Right Alfie....... those were the days....
Mike
Caroline told me Chris is still in south africa you can ask her where when she registers. I can only imagine what you got up to if it was anything like us ???????? :o
Barbara
Didnt Christopher Jones work at Debmarine some time ago???
I think Chris turned up in the Snooker and Darts about 9 years ago, was in town for the day, I think he mentioned that he was in the IT field back then.......
???
I can still see Chris dancing at the Youth Club with his extra long fringe and dressed to the nine's. There was a specific kinda music he was very into. Help? was it New Wave??? Depeche Mode
Chris Jones and Colin bought all the Lp's to play at the sessions in the Youth Club, You are right, it was New wave, Scott was also heavy into it also, I went with them one day wto go and Buy the Lp's, man I miss the 80's......
:D
Mike do they still have teenage dances? And do the kids still have a Youth Club?
I don't know they won't let a fat balding overwieght 40 something in the front door....... heheheheh!
The Youth club building still has the sign above the door, On the weekends there are groups of kids there, but I think it's run by a church group, but it is nowhere as noisy and mysterious as it was in our days.....

I see Carolyne signed the guestbook, guess she missed the forum section!
:-\
Remember Mr Wormser used the run the Youth Club in our days. He used to check us for alcohol but was always half plastered himself.
Do you remember when the Youth Club was behind the Power Station? Then was referred to as a Bop Session.
What year did they move it to the Eric Davies Hall?
Hi Everybody.
I am alive and well and living in Stourmouth, a village near Canterbury in Kent.
I am married to Nigel Evans, and have been for almost 20yrs.
By the way, my name is Carolyn not Caroline. The only person who got it write was Julie.
Love to all
Carolyn
Welcome to the site CaroLYN ;)
Now we just need to get Maree on.
Hi Carolyn
Welcome to our home away from home.
It was nice chatting tp you yesterday, keep in touch :)
Barbara
Debbie .. yes a hilarious memory of Mr Wormser asking us to breathe checking us for alcohol .. we always got through unless of course we were too unsteady on our feet .. My Mom always referred to him as a gentleman drunk .. he would be gently topped up throughout the day .. always upright never raucous .. " Good Morning Elnour " he would say to her upon seeing her in the shopping centre and walk gently and sooo upright on his way to his shopfitting work .. actually a very creative person he was ..
That's right Sandy. Was'nt he a diver? I seem to remember he had the "bends" from diving. Thinking of him now he was a sweet guy and I suppose he would have to have been tooted up to deal with us hey! Always had a very serious look about him. I wonder what he thought of us kids back then. Remember the tannies who used to sit at the desk?
I wonder where Jenny, Jackie & Joslyn Wormser are nowadays.
Hi Barbara B..
Have you bought a new cam yet for Skype. Diana & I have decided that we are not going to Skype you until you have it, it's not fair that you can see us and we can't see you. :P
Well, well, well howzit Carolyn, after all these years and we've both ended up on this little island. I'm up in Northamptonshire. I think it was Goofy that starting looking for you, spelt you name incorrectly and everyones followed suit.
The first person I meet on arriving in O'mund was you and Phillip Laubscher, 34 years ago, god were have the years gone ??? I was gob smacked when I heard Phillip had passed away......my first boyfriend in O'mund. Yep, lots of good memories :)
Say Hi to Maree
Julie
Hi Debbie
How are you. I have got a new webcam and will get in touch, let us know when you are available. I know it wasn't fair but we had a good chat. Where are watching the rugby,
Barbs...how about tomorrow at 6pm my time.
We're watching the game at home, having a few people around.
See u then
Yes Debby if memory serves me correct a pensioned off diver .. what did they the adults of then think of us kids .. put the shoe on the other foot .. what do we think of the kids of today ? .. too grown up too fast , lose "innocence " too early , too hectic .. too demanding , disrespectful .. much more materialistic than we were .. sure we were also some of the above .. just seemed milder .. seems the standard has slid . society has changed .. what was taboo then is no longer now ..
Oh god ! sounding old .. but yes thats where we find ourselves .. each generation looks at the new one and asks " what the hell is going on ? " your thought ??
No doubt our kids will also get up to mischief growing up, despite how much we don't want them to. I'm sure a lot of the older Omnd parents are raising their eyebrows at what their little darlings got up to right under their noses. I just think its survival of the fittest. If you get through these years unscathed then you've done well.
Debby .. So we have indeed .. each one of us a living example of being naughty in the good old days .. Thinking back I found myself in some really hairy and life threatening situations sometimes .. I used to tell my Mom that " if something happens to me then you will hear about it if nothing goes wrong then you will hear nothing " indeed giving her cold comfort .. like saying " hold your breath and lets wait and see " No wonder she wanted to brain me sometimes but then also realising that I had to bang my own head so then agreeing to disagree letting me do the adventure and best of all if I came back tail between the legs she would not do the I told you so ... My concern today is the growing drug problem . and the social acceptance of the so called " recreational drugs " one hell of a misnomer .. booze has its share of problems socially but does not rewire one as drugs do .. done and still do my share of clubbing to see the effects of drugs on so called grown ups .. what about the young ones ??
These are trying times to grow up in. There is no "normality" in school and society in general either. Drugs, booze on the one end. The drugs continue getting harder and the pressures keep getting more difficult. Yes, very dangerous and very serious then there are teenagers diagnosed with bipolar disorder, manic depression etc. kids are more suicidal than ever before (Northern Cape has the highest teen suicide rate in the country) The statistics are frightening. When you just think about the load kids have to contend with eg. non existent parents, HIV aids and many more issues. Self inflicting pain on themselves in order to forget a deeper pain becomes the norm. Being a teenager is no longer about being a teenager and "going thru a phase" as our parents would say when we were there. Parents today often have to sit up and take notice when their kids do anything remotely out of the ordinary.
It is a constant one on one with your children that keeps you in touch with them.
Hi Caro lyn, nice to see a Jones on the site finally! Be nice to know where Chris is? And of course Maree and Anne and all the kids.
Yvette
Hi Carolyn
Yes, I would love to know what Anne is up to these days?? I remember the catechism we used to go to at the little Catholic Church - was a way of getting out of going to Friday "hall".
Love to all
Patricia (Lineker)
