Tales from John Haycox!

[John Haycox]

Hi John,

Right, I think I've got it now.  It was the tarred roads that were numbered.  Couldn't understand that I got fifteen avenues from counting on Google Earth.

Our front door was on the dirt between 11th and 12th.  Your front door was on 11th.  11th goes right up past the school to the compound.  I remembered that you were on that corner, but because of the confusion thought that was 10th.

No I don't remember those guys.

Can give you a long list of school mates.

I had a few colleagues here in Cape Town that were also ex Oranjemund, You may know them, they were lecturers at the tech.

small correction here John, Johan Visser and Hannes Mulder were not lecturers at OMD. Johan left after qualifying as a diesel fitter in early 1980's and Hannes Mulder came to OMD and worked as a fitter at I think 3 plant.
