FIRST EUROPEAN CHILD BORN IN RHODESIA
Syd Polwarth Writes:-
I had thought, perhaps wrongly in light of the article or perhaps it was Sby and not S.R. that it was a Miss Pascoe who became one of our teachers at P.E. as Mrs. Hosking.
Her children included Vince who married Celia van Buren, Brian van Buren\'s sister whose family farmed somewhere in the Eastern Districts perhaps Rusape.
I think Tom Pascoe of Crowborough Estates just beyond Warren Hills was a brother and two of his sons were Ronnie, who married Anne Fischer from Headlands and Peter who were also at PE in their day.
Ronnie is or was still in Harare at Easter this year

JIM LIGHT MEDICAL UPDATE
Debs (daughter Writes:-
Just an update on my dad.
Dad had a op on Wednesday to put in 5 stents in his liver and the procedure has stabilized him and he is looking and feeling good.
Dad is still in the Donald Gordon Medical Hospital in Parktown.
All the evaluations for the transplant committee have been done and now we wait and see if he gets on to the waiting list.
Thanks for all the messages, calls and visits to dad.
I will keep you all posted.

Grand Get-Together in Cape Town in February 2014
Time is getting short - let John and Tony know if your coming or not.
SMILE A WHILE
A woman and her ten-year-old son were riding in a taxi in Toronto .
It was raining and all the prostitutes were standing under the awnings .
\"Mom\" said the boy , \"what are all those women doing ?\"
\"They\'re waiting for their husbands to get off work ,\" she replied .
The taxi driver turns around and says \"Geez lady , why don\'t you tell him the truth ? They\'re hookers , boy ! They have sex with men for money .\"
The little boy\'s eyes get wide and he says , \"Is that true Mom ?\"
His mother , glaring hard at the driver, answers in the affirmative .
After a few minutes , the kid asks \"Mom , what happens to the babies those women have ?\"
\"They become taxi drivers ,\" she said .
\"My Wife was at the beauty shop for two hours. That was only for the estimate. She got a mudpack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off. \"
