FRIENDS HALL OF FAME

Here is the first couple that I would like to acknowledge in my "Friends Hall of Fame". They are Jack and Dianne Foster who live in Victoria on Vancouver Island. I met Jack around 1984 while I was living in Pietermaritzburg. Jack was working for Armstrong Motors at the time and I was with Nedfin Bank. Jack assisted me greatly in getting established in the Agricultural Market and we shared many memorable moments together. Our friendship grew and as Jack was a very accomplished musician, we soon formed a band, and played together for some 7 years before he and Dianne emmigrated to Canada. The name of the band was "DUO". The other day I found a video of our last function together, played in Port Shepstone in 1992. I have now had it coverted to a DVD. Jack and I looked so young. Dianne is a remarkable woman, super-fit and set many swimming world records for both SA and Canada, as a masters swimmer. Today she runs and cycles as well and spoils Jack. Dianne's Mom lives in Umhlanga and I am in regular contact with her.She is Mrs.Rose Ludorf and has been a very special friend to me. I will get a picture of her soon.
