Yes Gerda.... Hope you have given him my message.
He sure keeps you very busy.
But he is worth it, so enjoy and maybe one day we all can sit on a stoep (in rocking chairs) and talk about our Oranjemund days. Specially the days nobody else knows about.
Jislaaik, ons was ook maar lekker stout hoor.

Ok, let's be honest about this..... whenever I am driving back into town from being on leave, I imagine that I am a first time visitor to Omund, the sand and then the green entrance into town....I try to imagine what their first impression would be like.... all this green in this barren part of the world...... then i spot my first gemsbok...... Wow!..... what a unique place this is... wish I could live here......



just my 2 cents....

When I drive back into town after leave I wish my leave was longer I don't know why must be that back to work thing, although I've got the best job in the mine.

I noticed a few references to Frank Quirk,he was a good friend of mine and was part of the Power Station crew at the time I worked there,he was a very gifted Diesel Mechanic and pretty well laid the foundations for two new engines back then. Spent days leveling the base and when completed before pouring the final grout was perfect. He would get his wife Margret to make me cheese and onion sandwiches which we toasted during our breaks.Although I was in the electrical side of things I am nosey and would ask Frank tons of questions on engines and the operation of those large engines and gained a lot of information from him,which years later when I applied to Ontario Hydro Power Plants was asked a question not related to my trade and funny eneugh new the answer thanks to Frank. I was sorry to find out of his passing through this site. Franks favourite dop was Viceroy and water,which he named Vickeyroy,I fondly remember him and cherished his friendship.
