RNR

I was with Union Castle from 1963 to 1974 in the Purser’s dept. I started on the Kenya Castle as Purser’s Clerk and finished on the S.A. Oranje as Purser. I spent 4 years on the Reina del Mar and did the last voyages on the Athlone, Sterling and Cape Town Castles.

With help of Mike Morley I put together 2 Reunions here in Cape Town in 1990 and again 1999/2000.

Congratulations on a great web site.
