"Ian"

Is that Gray or Grey?

Trevor

Derrick has this photo of me that he keeps in his wallet and it was probably taken back in 1992 or 1993, but the spectacles I used to wear practically covered my whole face, I will get it out and scan it in.
But wait, the glasses weren't the only thing, those "rokke" and the permed hair, what were we thinking? Shoulder pads / move over Dallas ...

Dolf DeBeer

Anyone heard from Dolf? Here's a story for you, Zelda & Maria will probably remember this, but all the departments at MIS were open plan with big boards between them and then all the managers had their own offices on the side.

Our office was right outside the boardroom and then Carols office was next to the boardroom and Dolfs office next to hers, one day when Dolf was out we swapped all the numbers on his phone around. For weeks on end he kept phoning wrong numbers, about a month later the technicians came in to check his phone only to show him that the numbers were all the wrong way round. ha! ha! ;-)

Then there was the time that Northern Transvaal lost their rugby match probably the curry cup final to Transvaal. Alet hung a wreath over his office door, and put a sign up "In Mourning" - well he came in, slammed the door closed and stayed there the whole day with out even venturing out!

What ever happened to Thebo?

Came across this photo of Lynns and wondered what ever happened to Thebo? He was part of the "party crew" that used to go pub hopping after work.

Tony Scanes

A lot of you will remember Tony Scanes much better than I will, the first time I ever spoke to Tony was just before I went on the Oceanos in July 1991. I was up in the pub "The Chip Inn" and Tony started chatting to me, I thought he was a really nice guy and I remember him saying we must have a drink when I get back from my cruise.

Well sadly the Monday after the Cruise left Durban, Tony was killed - so we never did get to have that drink.

What's amazing though is what a small world it is, Trevor ended up buying Tony Scanes house somewhere near the turn of the century (millennium).

Milling Race - "too fresh to flop"

A lot of the photos that Lynn sent me to scan date back to 1986 and up, Lynn started at Premier in 1986, I only joined there in 1990 so I don't know who some of the people are in some of the photographs and Lynn has forgotten some, so if you recognise anyone in the photos please email me and I will add captions to each photograph.

This one of Tony, Johan, ? and Alan is quite comical, the "too fresh to flop" phrase is placed in quite a strategical position! And yes I know we have all aged, but my goodness they all look so young!

Rocky "Horror"

I guess a lot of the guys who worked for Premier MIS either secretly wanted to be female or Transvestites - but either way this looks like it was loads of fun.
