[Alfred Boehme]

I was talking about the one in the desert (quarry) I've seen the wood structure there a few years ago?

Sure. It's the only one I know myself. Exept the one built on the old rugby field, on which as far as I believe, the new school has been built.

Hi Bobby.
Just read in a note to Cheryl, that you lived next to van Greunens. When was that? Mark used to be my pal. I almost "lived" at their place, so we might know each othe?? Do you remember me?

Hi Bobby nice to see you back where have you been hiding.
Yes it is altzeimers in the early stages. I just remember there were loads of us, and yes you were right more boys than girls. we had the pick of the bunch.
We did have fun though

hi georg jnr,really good to meet you even though its via the net,your dad i have had several conversations about all things oranjemund and more,he often mentions you,i mite have got cheryl mixed up with a family that were our neighbours in om with a surname of quantrill,if so i apologise for that mistake,any way good friend,i hope to see you contributing to the forum,im sure you will have great memories of om,cheers

I remember Mrs Quantrills baking. It was so different to my mothers German food.
I also remember the athmosphere about her house during east wind weather. The house was well shelterd by many high trees, which kept the garden and house a lot cooler than any other place I knew in om.
Thanks for the impulse. This is so much fun on this site, I'm already addicted. Must make sure I get rid of the spiders and their growing on my legs. hihihi

Hi Barbara

I don't know if you remember my sister Karen, she went out with Johnny Young (Ronnie's older brother) and she was also friends with Carrots.

Cheers

Hi patrick

yes i do remember you and Karen, how are you.
Will never forget karen she put holes in my ears with a needle, with only ice to numb my ear, thought i was going to die. How is she. Please give her regards

[Patrick McCarthy]

Hi Barbara

I think it was your brother Stephen who was in school with me if I'm not mistaken, is he still around. Karen is very well and living in Tableview. When I was a teenager, myself and Nicky Hodge also asked Karen to pierce our left ear (it was cool at the time). I will never forget the day she did it, also just a block of ice and a freakin' long needle. I took it like a man but poor Nicky passed out and knocked his head on the basin  :36_2_35:  I actually thought he was dead after the fall but he made it. (Just pulling your leg Nicky) Where are you living now, still in RSA or elsewhere? If I remember correctly, you guys were three kids. I remember you had a sister but I'm not sure whether she was younger or older than you. I'll tell Karen you send your regards.

Cheers

i did post this once before but for those who may not have seen it heres the foofie slide of the 60's....not sure exactly where it was only that it was a big hill .near the beach....well there was a lot of sand

:emot19:I fell off having just set off at the highest level once, and also got my hair tangled in the rope. But what fun it was.

[georg ruf jr.]

Hi Bev.
Nice pic.
I think the slide Michael meant, was the one you could sit in with about ten people. They built it for the Xmas-fair back in the mid 70s. Remeber the presents, gocarts a.s.o.... This was on the school rugby field where they've put the new schoolbuildings. Try google-earth. You can see it well there.
Your slide is probably the one behind the quarry. This was in the desert, therefor all of the sand.
