Help  i feel so lonely on this one .. does no-one have memory of  the happenings and the vehicles mentioned .. or  was i smoking dope that young?/  or  just a  strange child ?/ come now  stretch  the grey cells .. interrogate our  surviving elders ..  this  is all  still coming as  clear as day ..

I remember that accident happened early on a Saturday night or early hours of Sunday morning.

All I remember the car was a mess and it stood behind the building where the first youth club was.
I remember it was a rainy Sunday morning and someone at Sunday school said that the angles were crying because of the death of the little girl and her mother - I cannot remember the family name or if the father was killed

The above was my reply of the accident - was using Debby's pc and did not relies she was logged on.
OPS 1961-1968. Huguenot High 1969-1973.
Military Service Jan 1974-June 1975.
Worked in Oranjemund July 1975-March 1979.

Life's journey is not to
arrive at the grave safely
in a well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways,
totally worn out, shouting
'..holy sh*t ..what a ride!

Nobody seems to know.  I just phoned my old toppie - he remembers the accident, but not the names.  He thinks though that the father of the family worked at the post office, had a Scottish surname, and was a short man who also had serious head injuries after the accident, but recovered well.  Maybe this will help?
The surname McGregor comes to mind?
Oranjemund 1965-1982; 2019 and counting...
