@ Alfred .. No  definitely  not ...  I  am  having  a  chuckle  thinking of  my  Dad   with  a ponytail ..   he  was  foreman  at central  fields   boiler shop and  later  at uubvlei  as  well   ... we stayed  up  the road from  you  in  11th  ave  .. we  were E 35  right  at  the end in  the 70s ....  Your  sister Dianna and  I  were in  the  same  social  crowd  as  teens ..

believe it or not sandy, but georgrufswa had hair to his sholdiors (probably spellt wrong). His kids had trouble in school if the hair as far as the ears or reached anywhere near the blazer. Now theres no hair left to grow. I've even got less than my dad.

Hi Sandy,
I was thinking what your Dad would have said if he was remembered as having a pony tail, and chuckling to myself, even before I read your reply.
I remember your Mom & Dad well.

Hi Sandy

I bet you don't remember me.  We lived in 70/2nd and i was friends with the Stanbridge girls - your then neighbours other side the alley. I remember thinking at the time that you were quite "out of the ordinary" due to the fact that you were quite happy to "play" with us girls. Are you still in O'mund?  I remember your mom as if it were yesterday - she sold me the first pair of earings I bought with my first salary earned during the holidays of 1977.

Hi Sandy,

Thanks for the pics - sorry to hear about your mom - I remember her well. Yes, I did march to the beat of my own drum too. I was the fatty that fitted in no-where. Thank goodness we grow up and mature and in most cases loose the "puppy fat" too.  I will send you a pic as soon as I get some loaded onto my PC. I'm in Welgemoed - where are you?  Do you still have contact with Desiree Stanbridge?

Regards
Cheryl
