Want A Photograph Taken!

[Michael Alexander]

Barbara, I'm a beer lover by nature, Warren duped me into coming to his house on Saturday night, for Irish coffee's , knowing full well I would bring a bottle of whisky, then he got Pete to distract me, and served Irish coffee to everyone save me, ( he did not use my whisky!), Once I saw that I would not be getting any coffee... I departed..... he even got his mom and gilbert up here just to entice me around.... sigh! I wonder if I will ever see that bottle again, one of a kind she was...!   ;)

Please take a photograph of the last house I lived in.  The address was W5-7th Avenue, Oranjemund West.  I do not know if the address has changed since I left in October 1987.  The house was situated on the corner across the road from the "Chocolate Box".

Many thanks.

mmmh! the chocolate Box is still there, so it ain't gonna be to hard to find, just give a day or 2 and it shall be snapped!

;D

Could I please have a photograph of my good friend's gravestone - Paul Lisser - he was killed in a blasting accident on the mine.

Thank you,
Keith Margetts.

Keith, Jaunita already asked me to photograph both Paul and Joans grave, I found Joans, but I walked the yard 3 times and could'nt find Paul's, maybe the stone has faded, quite a few have.... does anyone remember roughly where he was laid?

???

[Keith Margetts]

No, but Paul was killed around 1978 . . . I got the news when I was in a three-month army camp, and was absolutely devastated as he was a close friend!!   Hard to believe his headstone may have faded so soon - he could be near his Mom, who I also knew very well and adored!!  I have promised myself that I will visit their graves - perhaps in a big reunion of us old ballies sometime, eh?

Hope you can eventualy find it?

Regards,
Keith Margetts.

[Michael Alexander]

Sue Hodgeson tipped me off where it might be, so I shall return there in a day or two.....

Mike,
Thinking about Dick Barkley, and looking through the "Lost Diamonds" 

When you get a chance could you look for the Grave of - HELMUT SIEBERS - someone I went to school with, if my memory is right he fell off his bicycle knocked his head on the new kerbstones they were putting in around Town.

I doubt that many people will remember him, if any one is a lost diamond it's him. ( a photo of his grave  may bring some memories from others)

[Michael Alexander]

Will do it sometime in the week..... Early shift week.......   :)

CLIVE I REMBER THE INCIDENT WITH HELMUT,SHOCKING NEWS TO ALL THAT KNEW HIM,I REMEMBER ASSEMBLY WHEN DOCTOR FENTER ANOUNCED IT TO THE SCHOOL

[Clive Symes]

Bobby, was great talking to you.

I'm glad that someone else remembered Helmut, it would be sad to be forgotten

Tragic accidental death - I can remember two such cases during my childhood.

Leslie (can't remember ? ) who got run over by a bus cos she didn't look just walked out from behing it after getting off.
Yolanda Fourie killed in a gun accident in her home.  She and a friend were looking at her Dad's revolver, and bang.

I guess this was used a lot by my folks as real lessons in life.
