Looking for KEVIN LAUBSCHER

[Nicky Hodge]

Hi there Cherry,

How are you? Hope things are going well. I'm not the full bottle on Phillips passing, but Delia mentioned on a previous posting that his Pancreas had failed or something ......... Delia?
Maybe Kevin will join the site one day and tell a few stories of his own. Cherry, Gabi has just yelled out from the kitchen to say hello from her ........ HELLO !!!
Hey Delia, long time no chat ........ Your recollection of Bruce climbing through the window is more accurate than mine ( Mere Male Brain), and I can now vaguely recall that he was trying to get out of the classroom to join us kids playing soccer. " Put your eye to my eye "............. Now that's a phrase I remember ......... I would never have imagined that anyone else would remember this. As you say, it's amazing what actually gets stored on those memory cells.

Hiya Nicky,

Tell your lovely wife that I'm still waiting for pics of my god daughter!  Of course, hello to you all too!  Do you know if Jeff Quinton is still based in Perth or still freezing his whatsits off in places like Siberia?

Cherry

[Debby Opperman (Biccard)]

That reminds me Cherry, the Quintons have'nt surfaced on the forum. The last we saw of Jeff he was married and still living in Perth.

[Michael Alexander]

Is this family of Bradley Quinton?

???

[barb (Fry)]

Michael, yes.
Nicky and Delia
Poor ol Bruce was getting on in years and didn't wake on day at break, Delia is right.  When he did wake everyone had gone out to play so he took himself through the window.
Previously his timing had been immaculate-
I recall that he actually belonged to a childless couple, who allowed this adoption during the day, although I think it become permanent.
Kevin where are you bud, help us out!

[Cherry (Alcock)]

I last saw Jeff in about 1999/2000 when he was out here on holiday.  He's divorced and was doing engineering work in the oddest of places.  When he was here he was stationed in Siberia and worked in -40 degree weather he told me.

Howdy Cherry et al,

Have just asked the girls about the photo's, and Alexa said she will get some together once she has finished exams. Gabi doesn't get to spend too much time on the PC these days, as the real estate market keeps her pretty active and subsequently robs her of precious time. I offered to look through the photo files myself and send some on to you, but got a barrage of verbal abuse and some filthy looks ..........  Apparently I can't send just ANY photo's ????? ........... Girls !!!!!!!!

In answer to the questions about Jeff Quinton, yes he is still based in Perth. Weather he works locally or away is anyone's guess. It is a rather small world really, as there are two people at my work who know of him. One is an ex- Oranjemunder who served part of his apprenticeship with him (John Button who is the brother of Nicki Button and was incidentally in my class at school for a short time), and the other is a guy that worked with him on a gold mine. What is even more of a coincidence is that I was a contractor on the neighbouring mine for about a year, and one day was sent to this mine as they were short on labour, and noticed the name "Jeff Quinton" on a notice board. You could imagine my surprise, when finding out that he was indeed the same guy that I knew of. He had unfortunately only resigned about a month prior to this. I knew that he was in Oz somewhere, but little did I know that he was just about a ten minute drive down the road. He probably wouldn't remember me, as I last saw him in the seventies when he was still married to Marie. I am about five or six years younger than him also.

To answer your question Mike, yes he is the brother of Brad, Brent?, and Beverly. I think he married a girl from Esperance (Western Australia) in about 2002 or 2003.

[Michael Alexander]

Nicky, my dad is sitting here with me, he wants to know if that mine is the same mine that John Mack and Rodney Cattermole worked at?

???

[Nicky Hodge]

Hi Mike and Jock,

Tell your Dad that the mine John Mack worked at was called Argyle (Diamond Mine), and is situated in the Kimberly region of Western Australia in the far North of the state. The mine I was referring to was near the town of Leonora in the South of the state. (North Eastern Goldfields).

Cheers
