as far as you are concerned ou really are a blast from the past my name is Ray Bannister and my wifes name Was Betty we had two children (boys) Stephan and David, i seem to remember you had a little girl.

Hello Both of You

            This is a turn up, my son Stephen told me about various things which could be seen on Facebook regarding Oranjemund so from looking on there I have ended up here talking to someone who is from an era which I still remember with so much affection.

I am sorry to have to say that Betty died on the 6th Nov 1999 she has been very much missed by both me, Stephan and David.

Both of the kids are married, divorced, and married again, I have 6 grand children 2 great grand children.

I live In the UK near to a small town called Beverley which is about 15 miles north of hull I work as an I.T. Manager for a company in the Town and if I had plenty of money I would retire this year.

I have lots of questions so I will contact you again soon.

Please let me know what you have been up to all these years.


Best Regards

Ray



I have a lasting memory of sitting in your house "having" to listen to Led Zepplin – I must say however I have retained a certain liking for Black Dog.

It seems that the Auld Fowk from The Emerald isle and North of the Wall have yet to hear about the internet....   

Make no mistake though, Jock is always asking about whats happening...what can you tell me? 

I have a spare PC for him..... but Oh! Just so many keys.... looks way to confusing for the auld scot!
