Hi Penny,

How are you doing?

Peter Pote as far as I remember was killed in a car accident some time back.
Bernadine Watson and family are in Australia and Peter and Shirley some where in Cape Town, lost contact with them in the early 90s.

Regards

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!

Hi Sandy,

Correction to your photograph of Collin and Veronica.

Debby and I went to Edna Carr's funeral yesterday and met quite a few ex Oranjemunders.
Veronica also attended and I mentioned the photograph of her and Collin on the web site.

She said that she never went out with Collin and the person in the photograph is her husband Paul, who at the time work in the mining department. They are still married and live in Gardens Cape Town.

Keep well.

Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier. Friendship is a sheltering tree.

To be clever enough to get a great deal of money, one must be stupid enough to want it.

Those who bring sunshine to the lives of other cannot keep it from themselves.

Hi Sandy,

in answer to you, yes, Juanita is married to Erwin, they live in Cape Town.  I am the baby Biccard, the innocent one!  Renee Esterhuizen is my oldest sister, and of course you know that Debby is married to Richard Opperman. Renee is also on this site and so is Juanita.   

I used to babysit for Maureen and Gus.  Too many times to count.

I recall the incident in CT with the oke wanting to beat up his girlfriend. that was a very entertaining neighbourhood, never a dull moment!  we had a lot of laughs there.

Sandy did you perhaps drive a Peugout, the one that was shaped like an iron. Coz, I know I was little then but I remember you and your car.  All over town!

Hi Yvette

Wow how your list brought memories back.... and yes they were all good one's.  I need to dig some old photo's out that I have somewhere in a box.... should bring back some good laughs and memories.
Who are you still in contact with from our teenage era?

Yvette Kroukamp (Biccard)

Samantha, how are you? Did receive an email from Vicky Linekar little while back as result of the forum and Susan put us in touch. Patrick also living in Kimberely and see him from time to time. Have lost touch pretty much with everyone. Its so nice to read up about Omunders on the forum. I heard somewhere that you live in Pretoria? I am there from time to time, would be nice to catch up. Boy, if your pondok could talk???  :-[

listen here, who are you calling 50???? I might hang out with the old folks but I'm actually 10 years younger and they dont call it naughty for nothing.

Michael Alexander

ooooops! But I believe that if you live on the platteland you young 40 year old's tend to age quicker with that sun and all and tend to appear 10 years older than what you actually are.....
