Howzit Lance

Thank you very much for keeping me updated on the reunion. Unfortunately, living on the other side of the planet does not make it easy to be there.

Please say Hi to all those who might remember me and a have a fantastic weekend!!

Send pictures.

Looks like a great turn out...............we would love to be there. Please send our best to all.

Hi Lance

Hope all is well with you. Can’t believe Edward Bell is coming all the way or the reunion.

Tell him Louise (Bergamasco) White and I say hi. Lousie’s Mom was here recently and told me she would like to get in touch with him in the UK. Would you get a phone number then she can make a plan to contact him. Tell Kyle that Theresa says hi. Michelle Hawkes was in Pretoria a few weeks ago and her and Linda met up. Recognise a lot of familiar names on the list. Wayne McKay, Japie and I see Sylvia and Alan are also coming.

You guys must enjoy the weekend together and send pics….

Take care

Theresa

Hi Lance,

Can you on pass my apologies to all as I wont be able to make due to work commitments – its rather a pity as it would lekker to meet all the Butties folk,I think it’s going to be a real bash.

Hi Lance

Will be thinking of you all at the reunion. Sorry I can't make it. In case you don't know I live in Mooi River, teach at Treverton Prep, am married to Mark (also a teacher...grade 7) and have two children, Jodi who is 2nd year varsity and Stewart who is in Grade 11. We still have the cottage at Mazeppa and go as often as we can.

Have a great weekend.

Michelle (Hawkes)Chaperon

Dear Lance,

even if I will not be able to be phisically at the reunion I will surely give it a couple of thoughts ... how nice, a reunion !!!

Do you often have them and is everyone invited?

We were supposed to come to S.A. two years ago to meet up with my sister, brother in-law and son as they were visiting some relatives there, but then we decided to stay with them in Dubai as they lived there back then.

I left Butterworth in 1986 and moved to East London where I lived until 1994, year in which I left for Italy.

In April my sister and family were in East London, Johannesburg, P.E. and George ... now they live in Saudi Arabia and we will go and visit them in August, VISA permitting ...

Please give me news on old friends once the reunion is over ...

Thanks ... and have a great time !!!

Silvia (Ceresa)

Hi Lance

On behalf of my folks, Ted & Pam Derry, in Jeffreys Bay, and my sister Lynn Gill, in Dubai, we wish everyone a fabulous time at the Butterworth Reunion. We will be thinking about you all and await lots of news from the weekend. Take care and may everyone return safely after the festivities.

Blessings.

Mark Derry

Remember all the hard work we all put in when we were in Standard 9. The selling of all the goodies at Athletics and Swimming competitions between Gordon and Davis House, so that we could give the Matric students a send off.

Why this Blog Site for Butterworth High School?

There were a lot of fond memories in Butterworth. We had lots of fun in all our sports. Rugby, Cricket, Girls Hockey, Tennis, Athletics, Swimming, Cross Country Running. The competition between Gordon House and Davis House was always strong, not to mention the times we travelled to Umtata for Rugby, Athletics and Swimming.

We really put up a good fight in every thing we did. We were proud of our school. How many trips did we make to East London, Cathcart and Stutterheim to play rugby. Remember the circuit training that Coach Peter Hughes and Coach Fenna Barnard put us through to prepare us for the upcoming rugby season.

All of this is only memories to us. We need to put this up on the internet, so that the memories will remain for others to read, and even our children's children. We are looking for past pictures from school, and present picture of yourself and your family. Where have you been and what have you been doing for 25 years???? Put your memories on the internet.

Lets have some fun with this and blog away. Bazil Howard-Browne
