Linda van Rooyen

Hi Shaun [Conner],

Saw your link on David's site. Our times at Arusha School must have overlapped a little, although I regret I cannot recall you.

However, my father, Joe Newby farmed on the slopes of the Crater near Oldeani, and I think I recall your father ?? Known to us as Colonel Conner?

I was at Arusha School from 1965 to 1969 and was friendly with Fe McIntyre, Alta van Rooyen, Nicola Ghaui, and a whole lot of girls, whose names escape me at the moment!

I married an ex-Tanzanian, Louis van Rooyen, whose parents, Isak and Margaret farmed at West Kili.

Louis attended Arusha School from 1960 to 1966 before going on to Belfast, South Africa. My elder brother, Richard Newby was also there during your stint before going on to St Michael's at Soni. So nice 'chatting' to someone from that part of the world!

Regards, Linda

about: connecting with Linda (Newby) van Rooyen (1966-1969)

Hello Linda, saw your message. It did bring back some memories. I don't think you remember me. I am sorry I don't recall you. Attended the school during 1967-69 but I do remember Fe McIntyre with her long hair. Do you know where she is?

Enjoy your trip back. Keep in touch. Regards.

Hi Linda Newby - van Rooyen.

You should remember me, have not grown much since leaving Arusha School. How is Alta ,I know she is now Burns & has 2 kids but lost contact while in South Africa. Are you in touch with Fe & Nicki? Would love to be in contact to catch up with old friends , still looking out if anyone knows where Linda Rowland is?

This message might be repeated as my connection went down.

Please keep in touch.

Regards Lolly

Robin Ulyate is now in Iringa or thereabouts.

Eric Brown - postmaster at Sany Juu is still alive - 101 and going strong. Now lives in England.

Unfortunately not in touch with either, but know Robin's sister, Phyllis who is in Richmond, SA

Hope this was of interest.

Have been catching up with familiar faces but would like to get in touch with Louis van Rooyen & or Linda Newby as I am trying also to find Alta van Rooyen ( have forgotten her married name).

Also , stand to correction, but very sure that Fe was actually Lorna F" McIntrye.

Best

Lolly
