Hello everyone! I am Terri, Gene Bennett's eldest daughter. We lived in Oranjemund from July 1975 to July 1977. With much reluctance, we moved back to the United States. I was a month away from turning 13 when we arrived. What a culture shock! "what do you mean...no television?!? What? There isn't a furnace in the house either???? ha
My dad, Gene, is alive and well. Both he and my mom will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary next June. Both know about this site and hopefully will answer soon.
I'd love to see pictures and be told how much it has changed. (By the way, Sonny and Ena Bennett are my uncle and aunt - Uncle Peter is my dad's brother).

I've viewed some of the pictures...thank you for posting them! What GRAND memories!

[Terri]

Re: Gene Bennett's email....this is his daughter. Dad's email is: geneben48348@juno.com

If you get the "non-deliverable" again, let me know and I'll give dad the message.

Terri
the mad american counsin of Alison who went to WGHS with me
You waved your bra at the boys over the fence, I remember you -
I was very short and full of attitude, you were in the wing with me and Caroline Dichmond at the top of the stairs on the study side of the boarding house.
How are you ?

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

Thanks Terri, hope we can clear that Email Adr. problem about your dad

[georg ruf jr.]

Hi Terry.
I remember you well. I also remember your problems with the culture shock. You were telling stories what would go on in american schools. Something like: A by riding is motorcycle into the school building and not being wxpelled.
I've seen american schools in Philidelphia from the outside. High fences and security check. This was 98. Seemed more like a jail. How are you?

[Paul (Pepe) Freemantle]

Hi Georg, I am here LOL. I am now trying to locate Bertie, John and Neil.

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

[DUNJA WRBKA]

With regards to Bert van Jaarsveld.  He use to be married to Adele.  I know they divorced and Adele married Jack van Niekerk.  Jack and Adele now live in Rayton (next to Cullinan)  If push come to shove, I am sure Adele will have the contact details for Bert.

Shout if I can assist.

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

@ Dunja

Yes push it, would be glad to get 3 Plnt Elec. together on the board

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

We also look for John Smith-3 plt electrician

[Paul (Pepe) Freemantle]

Yes please Denju, help us locate these guys as Georg says we are featuring better thasn the others at this stage LOL. 3 Plant was the best plant I ever worked on and the guys made it all worth while. Remember Sundays fetching all the crayfish from the desanding tank and feeding the whole plant crawfish. We of course were organised with all the utensils and mayonnaise of course LOL. Fridge was always stocked.

[Paul (Pepe) Freemantle]

That photo of the guys was when I was in Bakers Bay? Jimmy standing next to you George was my tool boy and believe it or not, was my dad's tool boy when he was still on the tools.
