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,

I remember the pinaple and also a little further past the sand area was also a plantation of Banna trees. I have a picture of us camping up on the sand hills by the run away track.( will have to dig it up and scan it.) Remember the first night? that lightning and rain storm it was fierce to the point where my Mom came out in our old volks wagen to take us back to our house to ride the storm. Hi folks

I especially remember the high diving board, how sad to see what has happened to Ituni. are there people living there now? I remember the wood fence that ran around the pool and we had to clib up a few steps from the road to get to the pool. we often found frogs in the pool. When we would go for a night swim it only had one flood light that lit up the pool and it was scarry to cross the dark road with the night crickets to get back to the gust house. But what a life we had.! Hi John was right the water in the pool was darker than the one in Watooka.
