I remember you lived on the corner in 11th Ave opposite the dry cleaners. I know your name, as well as Betty and Allan. He was my age and in my Std. or there abouts.
Something stupid that has always stuck with me,was a dress you had.I loved that dress,checked it was with a piece a lace that went from the one shoulder and formed a u shape infront to the other shoulder. Begged my mom to make me one the same.

Hi Cathy,

Betty your sister and I were in the same class in the 60s.

I last saw you at the reunion in Table View 1993 when Betty still lived in Table View.

I spoke to your brother Alan on Friday 25/07/2008 and mentioned this site to him. He was telling me that you and him are the only Austins left in South Africa. My company and Alan's are hoping to do business in the near future.

I see you are also in a few photographs in the 60s OPS photograph hestion. David and Bev Eyre, an ex Omunder, lived at Penhill for a while a few years back.

Give my regards to Betty when you speak to her again 

Keep well

Hi Richard. Yes I remember you as well. I have a photo of the boys soccer team and you are in it. Betty is in the UK and doing very well for herself. She lost her husband a few years back. She has 2 of her daughters near her. Yes Alan and I are the only ones brave enough to stay here I surpose. I vagely remember David Eyre. We have been here for 30 years. It is a nice quite place to stay. Away from all the noise. I must say I dont remember seeing you at the reunion. Well keep well. Cathy

Richard Opperman

Hi Cathy,

You may not have seen the 1993 reunion photographs?

If not go to "Things I remember about Oranjemund" and look for "Oranjemund reunion 1993 in Table View Cape Town" or search reunion. The photographs were all taken by me, so I am the camera guy. ha ha!

Give my love to Betty when you speak to her again.

Keep well.
