Hi all,

Here are some photographs I just received by email of Percy's farewell.

Enjoy!!
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!

Rumour has it, the Montgomery family lived at Swartkops back in the day... anyone?

Hi guys, not the same Montgomery but maybe an uncle.  The Montgomery family that lived at Swartkops had 6 sons and left Oranjemund before Percy was born.  I think Percy comes from a small family, one brother and one sister?
