[Bev Coates (Now Walker)]

Geez, Koos . . . ???

Okay, that's it . . . the "Canadian Poler Bear" will be making a concerted effort to be back for the 2008 Oranjemund reunion!!    I will make a really big effort to start saving those muhla-sheckles to be able to afford a First Class flight . . . might even have to sacrifice my big-screen HDTV and cable connection to THE sports channel that will give me real sports like rugby and cricket.   :pianto1:

To hell with it, Koos . . . I have thoroughly enjoyed making contact with my old friends and aquaintances from my teenage years that I had the privalege of spending in Oranjemund . . . and even making some new friends along the way!!    I'm not living in the past, but just reminiscing about the great memories I have of my ten years in Oranjemeund in the 60's and 70's . . . they are happy memories, and they give me a lot of pleasure . . . 

And, yes, I am really looking forward to being able to attend the 2008 reunion folks . . . no guarantees, but I will certainly try!!

Best wishes for a great 2008 and have a Happy New year to you all.

@KOOS -  I think you have a serious ATTITUDE problem.   If you have lived in OMUND as long as I/we have you would have good and bad times. grab  I think you should pop in to my office so that I can BITCH slap you good!!!!!   

[SandyB]

Mmmm... I  see  Koos has  ducked under  the  radar  in  case  he is  found ....    and yes Bev  it may  seem  sad  that  we  actually  responding  to Koos's  post but  then  it just  shows  that we all care about  each  other  and  are not  indifferent .. I  think  we should now   obliterate and  bury koos  and  his  posting , a  sort  of  new  year   cleansing .a  different  kind  of  moving  on ..

[Robert Bruce]

If we ex OMers are what we are because of where and how we grew up years ago in Oranjemund, then it stands to reason that Koos is reflecting his experience too. It was obviously not as great us ours. I sensed some envy in what Koos said. And not a lot of maturity. Shame.

But WTF folks, we have moved on and can celebrate our history however and in whichever manner we want to. We do not need anyone's consent on how we do it, nor  permission to look back and smile at the good times. If I am an old fart who enjoys your company and can reminisce for hours at a time and you participate too, then great. Just kick me out when I get boring!

Best wishes to you all for 2008. And especially to you Koos.

PS: Mike, I still hate these blerrie smilies!

[georg ruf jr.]

Younger fart  to older fart  . Keep the spirit growing.
Thanks to all Oranjemunders for the gift of keeping the communication so strong. Looking foward to continuing in 2008.

[SandyB]

Folks ..  its  a new  year .. and  now definitely  time  to  tuck  Koos  into  bed  and  say  a  final  goodnight ..   in  doing  so  we  will  definitely  be  moving on ..   To  all  my  O'mund  cyberfamily  .. may this  year  be  one  of  joy  and  personal  growth  for us  all  ...   better  so  read  Dalenes last posting before  she  went on  holiday   ...   brought a  lump to  my throat  and  yes ,  is  inspiring  me  to  take  this  new  year by  the  horns ...

JUst come back on line and saw KOOS's post, pity ke doesn't give his surname, afterall , we are aware of how many Kooses have lived in Oranjemund over the years.

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

 

Must be something like Koos De Kat, for he assumes he has 9 lives :  ------  we gonna kill him 100 times over (with old time memories and the power of friendship)  even Keith the Polar Bear has started saving to join in.

Thank you, Koos, for that........

[georg ruf jr.]

Hey.
I think Koos is going to something that brings us together. Thank you Koos!
