Is That the same CLocktower that is now in Omund?

Well it says on the Old Oranjemund Site that this clock was moved to the school in O'mund in 1938.

Yep! Yep! Everybody "says" so...... but where is the actual old timer who can say, "yes! I remember when they did that!"

Anita Reschke would probably be the person who'd know

I'm still young

Alfred Boehme · February 21, 2008, 07:14:37 PM

mmmm I mite have the hair but not the years

Well, ...... I won't be able to tell either, cos I don't think I was even part of my parents family plan when it was done. Remember - I'm still a baby - have not even grown taller than 159cm yet, so there's no way I could be old enough to have memories so far back. Maybe when I grow to be 169cm then I will be old enough....

These are some of my Oupa's photo's taken back in 1924.Not exactly sure where this is,it IS Namibia.Could very well be this area. If they not of interest please feel free to delete them. I asume the ship is the one they came over from Germany on.

@ Alfred that is your Oupa on the right in the top picture

Diana Rudd (Boehme) · February 23, 2008, 11:58:42 AM

Ok messed up the top 2

Cherry (Alcock) · February 23, 2008, 01:13:32 PM

I vaguely recall that Garub was near Aus where the wild horses roam(ed)

Michael Alexander · February 23, 2008, 07:30:32 PM

@ Diana.. this exactly what we are looking for.... It was not just about Omund, but why Omund was established here...Kolmakuppe, E Bay...Pomomna,,,, were all part of this town being here, the Photo's you post imight have been lost to history, but no more..... the world now has them.... Thank you for posting them...

Hey Diana like the photo`s how about some higher resolution copys for me

Diana Rudd (Boehme) · February 24, 2008, 05:26:44 PM

Got loads of these photo's Clint,3 albums in fact.All around 1924, this was when my "oupa" was still single. I am not so bright when it comes to computers so what on earth is higher resolution. Sure we can make some sort of plan if you interested. Where about are you living? Not Cape Town perhaps?

I think Clint lives in Lüderitz. There's a link to his homepage in his profile.

Thanx my boy will check it out.
