Do you have any information on the Pattersons. My dad started at Demba in 1946. He worked as a carpenter, boat builder, some where in the plant and finally in the electrical shop ( I think). Keep up the good work ans God bless. Celeste Dear Mr and Mrs Wong

The dashing gentleman in the front row on the far left (next to Mr. Grant) is my beloved father, James Crawford. Thank you for the memories - they mean much to me as his voice was stilled for just over two years ago. I know that he would have had a great story to tell had he been here to see this picture :) Thanks again! Best, Felicity Crawford Dear Mr and Mrs. Wong,

Terry is still living in Germany. It was nice to see you at my dad funeral all those years ago and catching up of the convent. Hi John Cush,
