I think Kat or Claire sent me this cutting from an old 80's newsletter, for those of you that did'nt know him, Bossie was the local speedcop......

Yes I remember Bossie - but remember when Omund did not have a traffic cop only your local police.
I remember getting my drivers from PPJ - remember him?

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!

The higest love of all finds it's fulfilment not in what it keeps, but in what it gives.  We may give without loving, but we cannot love without giving

Hi there
I remember oom PPJ so well.  He was great friends with my dad, so was Bossie, actually so was everyone.  Oranjemund was just a great place for friendships.  This really takes me back years and years.  Maybe we should move back.  Need an event planner in Oranjemund????
Oranjemund from  1962 - 1984
Once an Oranjemunder always an Oranjemunder at heart.

There is a NAMPOL (Namibian Police) bakkie that drives around the town, it is one of those little Nissan things, almost the same size as a mini, (the mini's bigger)...... and all along the door, next to the Police emblem are the letters...HIGHWAY PATROL.....did I miss something? Highway? Here? in that little car?

Bossie was an elder of the church at the time. and the dominie complained about the behaviour of a member of the church commitee

Michael Alexander

The church can be a bit narrow minded at times, kinda like an incident that happened very recently to which I shall not add comments...

Bossie was/is a great guy...
