| Message |  Sure I left a message some time ago - must have got lost in cyberspace? I joined EAA in 1959 as a junior in the Reservations Control Office. Learnt the ropes there with great people such as Reg Penman,Derrick Pearce and Len Carwell. Was transfered to Kampala as Senior Controller and after a couple of years or so, to Dar es Salaam in the same capacity. Later moved back to Nairobi, to the Training Centre. Spent 6 months or so in Blantyre - Malawi where I opened a Sales Office. Left EAA in 1971 and came to S Africa via the UK. Now retired and living in Cape Town. Looking forward to the EAA Reunion on the 26th July 2014 which, I hope to make. Made lots of very good friends with EAA, many of whom are still in contact. Long may it last. |
