Grayness and kids, oh yes teell me about it.

Good to hear.

Patrick McCarthy · August 22, 2007, 03:13:46 AM

Hey Nicholas, how the hell are you old buddy. I thought you'd vanished off the face of the earth. It was great to hear from Yvette that you were looking for me, unfortunately I only found out yesterday about the Website. I checked it out and boy, what memories come flowing back. I'll also be posting some pictures on the site in the near future, I just have to get it together first.

Mike, great site and it's about time somebody thought about this. Just one thing though, it was my brother Paul who went to Bob's funeral, he was married to Janice.

Michael Alexander · August 22, 2007, 06:37:15 AM

Sorry Patrick, I never actually realized how many of you guys there were..... But at least you're here now... enjoy...the memories...

;)

Michael Alexander · August 22, 2007, 11:31:45 AM

Hey Patrick, Adriaan van Rooyen is standing behind me as I type and sends his greetings and will contact you later.....

;)

Patrick McCarthy · August 22, 2007, 06:46:49 PM

Mike, regards to Adriaan. What's he doing these days? Last time we spoke he still worked for De Beers. I've been with the company for 21 years now, almost a life time. The last time I saw you Mike, you were a young boy. I can't remember whether you went to school with my sister Theresa. Man, I just can't get enough of this site, it brings back so many memories. I've looked at many of the pictures and recognise people immediatly.

Cheers

Patrick

Michael Alexander · August 22, 2007, 07:07:14 PM

Patrick, Adriaan still works for the Hush Hush department, and does shift work there, on his off shift he moonlights at Spar and is registered on this forum, but seems hesitant to post. I told him to post in Afrikaans if he prefers, he assures me , he'll give it a bash tonite.

Your sister, Theresa and Elizabeth Fry were in the same class in OPS..... Way back when.....

;)

Adriaan Van Rooyen · August 22, 2007, 08:05:14 PM

Hi Patrick,what do you mean the last time you looked,i am still here, man i am part of the history,still battling the elements, you know what i mean.Still a privelage to stay here,although we are the old toppies now...hahah especially Mike....

Nicky Hodge · August 23, 2007, 02:18:28 PM

Howzit Patrick old thing !!!! Finally, after all these years,....... Contact!! You could knock me down with a feather, Trevor !!!! What have you been up to over the years? I think you were working for security in O/mund when I was an Appie. Sounds like you're married now, with a daughter called Meghan ? Any other kids? How are Karen, Paul and Theresa? Your Folks? Theresa's son must be about 21 years old by now. How long have you been living in Kimberly? What's this I hear, "totally grey". Mind you, I can recall you had the "ODD" one when you were a teenager.LOL.

Me?, yeah still kicking, ........ Just. Still not grey though!!!! I can however feel age creeping up ....... Not quite the stud I was .... LOL. You have probably gathered by reading some of the posts, that we now live in Oz. Been here since 1991. Patrick, I don't quite know where to start. We will have to send a PM to each other now that we have found our email addresses. This is just a great site isn't it? So many times over the years have I pondered where you and your family ended up. Also all the memories of our youth together .......... Great times. Lots of laughter I remember. You must please thank Yvette again from me for giving me your email address.

Cheers for now.
