Rob

Steve Roberts here.  It's only been 30 years, so I'm sure you haven't changed.  Peruse through two other forums ("Enduring memories" and "Did I know you") for a trip down memory lane, and also how to contact me.   I'd like to know what you've been up to.

Best Wishes

Steve

Welcome Rob, the more the merrier on the site, I find as people post their memories, it brings back many of those buiried in the deep recesses of the old grey matter. Though sometimes that is probably the best place for them to stay

Hello all.John Hoare here.I remember the Delaney family.I was at Northlea and the army Eric.Greetings to all old Northleans.I have also just found this site also.Some of the peoples names bring back real good memories.

Hi Rob glad you found the site. Remember you from the "small" reunion we had in Pretoria.  John, you were in my class if I remember correctly.  Our form teacher was Mr Bredel.  Eric was also in our class.  I was big friends with Barbara Rylander (spelling sorry!)  I was also involved in gymnastics (yes we did do it) and athletics and am still do such today.  Great that more people are joining. Cheers

Hello Wens.Nice to talk to some old friends from way back in the good old days.I read somwhere here that Mr Bredel is still alive.He must be as old as the hills.I liked Barbara she was a nice girl.

Putting a name to a face is one thing after 3 decades, but trying to get your full name would help my old mind out,don,t often think about those days  I,m to busy worrking and when i do,,,,,like i said an old mind.I am glad i found this site looking at the pics brought back some good memories.John

Hi Wens,thanks for the reply.It was great to be able to catch up with people from the past.Where can I go to have a look at the pictures that were taken at the reunion?Keep us posted if you organise or know of another reunion.All the best Rob.

Hi there Steve.How are you keeping,and has it been that long since we last had contact?I am living in a town called Meyerton(part of the Vaal Triangle,if you can remember your geography lessons with old Fossil,Mr Arthur).If you want ot contact me directly feel free to drop me an email,my address is  rdelaney@mweb.co.za. I have your address so I will mail you direct.The memory needs a bit of a kick start so I will try and make notes and fill you in on what has happened to me over the last 3 decades.What have you been up to and how is the rest of your family,mom,dad, sisters (Valarie and Claire if my memory is correct).All the best for now,will contact you again with details.Cheers Rob

Hi Rob, Unfortunately I got a terrible virus on my computer and lost everything.  I am always game to do something again but next time will check out the sporting calander.  A friend has a great pub here in Tarlton, so let me know and maybe we could get a dance going on a Saturday night or something like that.  There are lots of ex Rhodies in the area.  Let me know what you think and I will get the ball rolling.
