Teenagers of Your Time

[Leon Sumter]

Hi Richard
Mrs Boltman
What a small world! I knew Mrs Boltman much later in life. She used to live with her daughter in Edgemead about 5 houses away from us. She would often stop and chat with me when on her way to the shopping centre. Kept us up to date about her brother Ernie and his family, i.e you guys. She and her daughter and grandson (owned Kersten foods) moved out of Edgemead a few years back. Did Mrs Boltman actually live in Oranjemund or did she just visit the Biccards?

Haven't read the entire thread but yes Leon I'm sure there was a Mrs Boltman in O'mund. The name Trevor Boltman rings a bell with me.

Hi Diana
That's it..... Trevor Boltman. Why am I confusing Mrs Boltman with the Biccards??
Was Trevor at the Uublvley Tyre shop with Glen Hackart?
Frustrating when your memory fails you.
Tell me as well is the young Stockies Van Schoor the same Stockies that ended up as Training officer at the tech?

Me thinks that there was only one Stokkies Van Schoor! the training officer..... was an appie with ol' Gunther Machts......

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

I realy don't remember where Trevor worked just know the name.
Richard married Debby Biccard, daughter of Ernie and Marlene.
As for Stokkies his name is Anton is it not. Well thats the Stokkies I know.

How's this for a small world - I met my ex in 1990 (he was contracting up in O'mund) and when i got to meet his brother Gary a few months later down in Cape Town, his girlfriend was with him - who's his girlfriend??? Jill Boltman, the youngest of the Boltman kids. Gary was about 20 then and him and Jill had been going out since about their std 7 days.  They got married a few years later but are now divorced.  Jill & I chatted about O'mund quite often but she was quite small when they left so doesn't remember much.  Her brother Gavin was with me at OPS and Mark in my sister Linda's class.  There was also another brother Wayne.

Of course yes Sandy, I knew the name well and also had an idea the Boltmans lived close to me. The brain just needs a bit if a jiggle.

I am back!

Debby and I visited with Rainer and Linda living in Hentjies while on a business trip to Namibia.

Rainer had some good old photographs of yester years taken around 1975 to 1978.
Two jolted my mind on why I married and still married to Debby for 28 years, very pleasant memories and years.

These might bring back some memories to others of that period.

Enjoy.
