Re: The late Marlene Evans

My sincere condolences on the news of Marlene…

From the late 1940′s /early 1950′s I will always remember her coaching the chorus of ‘swallows” house down at the now KPS… where we did many classes in army tents that Mr. Stevens arranged in after the fathers of us baby boomers came back from ww2 in 1945. I did my morse code tuition from her late dad (Bakka Evans) and became a radio ham through him. The corner house that she lived in as schoolgirl on the corner of grey street and oosthuizen elandia, 4 houses from where I grew  up, was facing the open veld – where schoonspruit high school was later built.

R.I.P. Marlene.
