Looking for KEVIN LAUBSCHER

[georg ruf jr.]

Hi Kenny.
I believe to remember your name. Do you remember me. I don't know what you look like, how old you are, or ...
I saw in one of your posts, that you know Kevin Laubscher. I remember him well. He was kind of cool. One of the best soccer players in the old tennis court outside the standerd 4 classes. I think he had an older and younger brother. They must have lived somewhere on the east side of town near the desert. But who didn't live near the desert?
It was close to the Boltens. Did you know them. Wayne was in standard 2 and 3 with me. Std 4 and 5  the classes were mixed new. His brothers were Gavin and Mark. nice guys. I think they left om in 1976.

Georg, talk about a small world.  My ex brother in law was married to Jill Boltman (baby of the Boltman kids) - Mark, Gavin & Wayne's sister.  Gavin was with me in class, Wayne & Mark being the older ones.  I'll never forget the day Gavin cut himself while playing in the trees, went home and got a "bandage" - came back to carry on playing with a sanitary towel wrapped around his hand.

Hi Georg

I was in class with Mark Boltman, Ivan Bester, Owen de Jager, Gary Neugabuar(spelling), Linda Olivier, Stephen Worth, Patty Doran, Michelle Chemaly, Rene Phillips, Teresa Carr and the rest. I left Oranjemund in 1985, I worked in the IT department for 3 years before I left. I am still in the IT field at the moment, working for KWV in Paarl.

The Boltmans were good friends of ours untill they left O'mund, Trevor, Pam, Mark, Wayne, Gavin, Mandy and Jill . I haven't seen or heard of them since I was in Std 6. Mark and I were at WBHS together for the first term of Std 6 and then his parents moved down to Brackenfell.

I often see Kevin, he visits me every December in Paarl, Phillip passed away last year and I have no idea where Markie is or what he's doing.

Georg your surname seems to ring a bell but I still can't place a picture.

Sanitary towel - my gosh kids won't even go outdoors if there jeans have the wrong label nowadays -

I think everybody called Mark Boltman Ocky. I remember the name Bester, but Ivan?? Owen de Jagger was at scouts with me. Linda Olivier? Relative of Rusty and Delia? Stephen Worth was the toughest scout om had in the 70s. He did a 100 km survival walk on his own through the desert. At the age of 15 or so. I remember a Steven Carr. I think his father was an engineer.
Was Philip athe younger brother of Kevin? I can't remember.

Georg,

Linda is Delia  and Lance's (Rusty) sister.
Teresa Carr is daughter of Jock and Edna Carr (Edna sadly passed away a month ago). Teresa has two sisters, Sandra the oldest and Janet the youngest, they also had a brother Robert who was killed in a accident in Oranjemund in the early 80's.
Stephen Carr was the son of Jakie Carr (engineer), Stephen had a sister called Stephanie who married Gary Ebstein who has a brother called Mel.
Ivan Bester had two sisters Angela and Wendy and a younger brother, Mark. His Moms name was Janet (can't remember his Dads name, I think they called him Bessie or something like that). I know his Mom got divorced and married another ex-Oranjemunder called Steve or was it Stephen Kerr (not sure if I got the correct name here).

[georg ruf jr.]

Thanks kenny. Your a great help. Things are fitting better by every note you send.
I see you know the Ebsteins too. They lived around the corner from me in 2'nd ave. I remember they had and old Volvo with the sign "Powerwagon" on the bootcase. Mark vasn Greunen ans I always wondered, wether Mr. Ebstein put that sign on the car himself.
Do you stil live in om, or when did you leave?
