Long time ago since I've seen this. Very important part of African history.
Thanks Alfred

Been living in Luderitz for 2 years now, poor little town living off tourism. The fishing industry has deteriorated. Namdeb still pumping money into the community.

Hi Clint. Didn't you use to live in second avenue? Someting round about number 30? Almost next to the GMs house? Your father used to drive an old Volvo?
I've seen your homepage, but I would never have recognised you.

Hi Georg Jnr, Clint only logs on every once in awhile, but I can vouch that he lived down the end of 1st ave ...one house away from the GM's house.. brother to Mel and Gary....

georg ruf jr. · January 13, 2008, 12:39:10 PM

I think Mel was the eldest, wasn't he?

Michael Alexander · January 13, 2008, 03:57:42 PM

I'm not to sure, Gary lives in CPT, like diving a lot, hardman... and mel was more into sailing and lives in Oz.....

Clint Ebstein · January 18, 2008, 01:29:43 PM

Yes I lived in 2nd avenue 48-2nd. Mel is the oldest and lives in Australian. My dad drove that green volvo.

Now I remember better. We lived in 63-1st, so you guys were not far from us. Come to think of it now - the topic of the 1st ave bushes and the guy who had his ear pierced by the stick - wasn't it one of you Ebstein boys? Gary? What year was he in St. 5?

Clint Ebstein · January 19, 2008, 05:39:20 PM

Ya ya ya the Ebstein`s where the talk of many conversations, we should have lived in the GM`s spot

Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee) · January 19, 2008, 05:47:03 PM

Don't you mean it should have been your "hide-out" spot?

Florrie van Zyl (Muir) · January 19, 2008, 06:49:09 PM

@ Clint, please say hi to Mel for me, we were in the same class.

It was in the Ebsteins garden I first saw watermelon plats. I remember wondering, how such dry and weedy plants could have such juicy fruits.

Greetings to you Clint haven't see you since STS days keeping well I presume

On the east side of Clint's house was a tall hedge, where Clint used to keep all the snakes he picked up in the desert..... was his favourite place to hide when we played Hide and seek as kids, coz he knew nobody would go near the hedge..

... and I'm sure there was a time when Clint blew/burnt his eyebrows of, when messing around with the petrol in his dad's lawnmower.....
