Hi Bev,
Nice to see a picture of my Dad ( Dennis not Ken) with your dad looks like they were changing out pipes or salvaging a pump
The lady on the far right of the picture outside the church is my Mom

Hi Clive, Yes i Know your dad is den it even says it on the back of the photo and in the peter pan book they gave me for xmas in 66, and it was your mum and dad that got my parents to go to O/M after meeting them aboard ship on the way to cape town.....do you remember that......which brother are you youngest or oldest, We did have lots of old phots but over the years they have been lost, but will have to get all my slides transfered too.

Hi Richard and George...yes i remember now....i thought it was eddy and nina and yes caroline......

[Clive Symes]

Hi BEv,

I remember my Mom & Dad saying that they had met your parents on board ship. My Mom is still alive and living in Cape Town, she remembers your parents well. John is my younger brother.

Young Brother  ???

But then again, when you're young and virile like me, old people just seem to be.....

old Boy Scout Photos from about 1977-78

I only recognize my son Georg,

Scout Masters: John Bance and "Digger"

3 rd Pic from top: Is that Jock Alexander in the back , left ???

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

I looked at the Pics ( 3 rd from top) again and see Bill Frey in the background, so that was in the newsletter sometimes

[Michael Alexander]

No Georg, sorry not my dad Jock, unless it is another Jock!

I assume this is Shepards Neck?

???

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

@ Mike

Yes shepards neck, beautiful ground there for the scouts, ok not your dad but resemblance or was he in Caseys that time LOL  ??? ;D :D

[Michael Alexander]

Georg, you are more than likely right, My father lived in Casey's and for some reason always wore black and referred to himself as Johnny Cash, The Man in Black!

;)  :D  ;D
