Another scan of a New Year Party in'74 ,, looks Hawaian and the one woman looks like Gloria.....

Dieter Heiser, Mike Burgess and Rude Kretchsmer I recognise I think

Diana Rudd (Boehme) · February 20, 2008, 01:12:25 PM

I think you right,and the guys all thought they looked cool with those hairdo's. Shame Dieter is quite bald now.That girl,with the smoke, looks very familier not one of the Carr girls perhaps?

Richard Opperman · February 20, 2008, 04:06:12 PM

I do not think she is a Carr girl. Group a lot older than Carr girls.

Girl with long hair facing camera may be Jennifer Langford? Guy talking to her Terry Dunster?

Lady with back to camera Dieter's wife?

Gray matter not too good!

The Gloria I was referring to , is Dawn Johnson(Johansen?) sister, married to the guy, Latimer, who died while diving.... anyone confirm?

Diana Rudd (Boehme) · February 21, 2008, 06:27:48 AM

Yes her husband did have a diving accident and that certainly looks like her. Will get Dieter to have a look

Hi, Gloria was married to the Latimer guy - died in a car accident. Dawn married Jackie Joseph. Gloria re married - Jimmy Jones.
who was in oranjemund - maybe still there!

Gus

Oops sorry. I do recall a diving accident. Who was it then? Anybody know

vivienne · February 22, 2008, 06:39:13 AM

Hi Diane It was Nick Latimar and he did die in a diving accident and this I do know as he was engaged to my
sister Lorraine

vivienne · February 22, 2008, 06:46:43 AM

My apologies Diana Gus is right it was a car accident just spoke to Lorraine and she confirmed it.

Diana Rudd (Boehme) · February 22, 2008, 07:20:18 AM

Thanx Viv. I do remember a diving accident as well.

Michael Alexander · February 22, 2008, 10:59:49 AM

Yes! Jimmy Jones is still here, Dawn is still here, Gloria passed away about 3 years back.... But the question is... is that Gloria in the pic?

angus Buchanan · February 22, 2008, 02:09:13 PM

looks more like Dawn - she had darker hair than Gloria. I might be wrong but i am sure that Gloria had a lighter shade of brown and Dawn was dark brown.

Michael Alexander · February 22, 2008, 02:12:43 PM

I'll ask Dawn when I see her in the shop again....time to solve the mystery....

Richard Opperman · February 22, 2008, 03:37:09 PM

Gus is right, Nick was killed in a car accident, coming back from a diving trip, I think it was near Groote Schuure?

My guess that is Dawn in the photograph and not Jennifer Langford and not Terry Dunster, but Jackie Joseph?

Cheers
