That's not useless Richard.
We all miss the days in OM. Even if a lot of us wouldn't want to live there anymore.
Talking about leaving the town brings back memories and gets us closer to each other. Yes. The OM family. That's what we're here for. 
Have a nice day.
Ours is going to be cold and rainy again...  cuqui

I know its not yet 30 but next month I would have left Oranjemund 25 years ago :-(  Still miss the place soooooooo much!

It's been 24 years for me and it still feels like we drove over that bridge just yesterday 

[Bertie Horak]

28 years for me - I might have left Oranjemund, but Oranjemund definitely didn't leave me!

Oranjemund is a unique place even after 37 years have passed.............. 

[Dave Bannister]

It's been about 32 years since we left and i can honestly say, nowhere i have ever lived since has come close to Oranjemund..

Around 27 years for me and been back once since in '90. If I remember correctly my folks left in 1981/2 and I went back for vacation work in the geology department once more after that. Sounds like things have really changed.

Hi Georg,
yes my brother is called Stephen, i'll phone him later and tell him to join in on this one. If you look on the OPS photos, Stephen is on the main class photo but i think he has been put down as Anthony Bannister.

Hi Pam, i'ts great that you remember me and if i'm not mistaken, i'm on one of your photos you have on this site ( party 1 ). Please let me know if this is me ?

Wow, thanks. Haven't seen that pic yet. I don't recognise "Anthony", if the name is right. But I know most of the kids, because I landed up in classes with them from std. 2 upward. Andy and Mark were my best buddies in the mid 70's.
