Subject: Memories of Bulawayo
Hi Maggie
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your "Good Old Days" article. I stumbled across it today and have spent ages on your website. I was born in Byo in 1944 (my Dad was Rector of the Church of the Ascension Hillside) and left there in 1967 when I got married. I now live in Australia. I spend a lot of time looking at the Zimdays and Rhodesians Worldwide type websites, but most of the memories are not as old as mine, or mostly about Salisbury (always was Bamba Zonke!) so it was absolutely thrilling to read about Bulawayo and to remember all my old haunts!
So thank you - I shall keep checking the Morning Mirrors for more trips down memory lane - and by the way, my 37 year old daughter is now the proud owner of my china "Lady" dog from my Lady is a Tramp collection!!
Best wishes, and keep up the good work
Gen Webb (nee Pugh)
Valentine Mugutsa has an exhibition of his very fine paintings at the National gallery until 25 October.
It is an excellent exhibition, his paintings are strong and striking.
You will enjoy seeing (and buying ?) these fine pieces of art, I can promise you.

The coelacanth is my favourite animal. I remember the fish being displayed at the Trade Fair one year and I spent a lot of time looking at it and being amazed at its looks.
Since then I have seen coelacanth in the Natural History Museum in London, been on the web to look at pics of the fish underwater, bought a Wedgewood plate with a coelacanth on it, books, DVDs and videos.
It is my hobby, looking for coelacanth items such as keyrings and pictures, and all sparked off by the Bulawayo Museum!
I would like to do something for the display. Is there anything practical I can do from here?
I cannot send money but I can offer support and help.

HELP! HEDGEHOGS IN TROUBLE
When did you last see a hedgehog? Chances are it was a very long time ago. They used to be a common sight in our gardens during summer, but because they suffer from diseases like cancer and herpes, they are now rare to the point of being almost endangered in Zimbabwe. Lisa Hywood of the Tikki Hywood Trust for Endangered Species in Harare is looking for hedgehogs for her breeding scheme. Like all the Trust's animals, they will be kept in ideal conditions and under constant supervision. And when they are old enough, the hoglets will be released back into the wild.
Please ONLY feed the hedgehog on raw meat (pet mince will do) and finely chopped vegetables and only up to 10% of his weight. Pro nutro, milk, cheese and bread etc. are dangerous for them. They are not called hogs for nothing - they love food and will eat themselves silly (and sick) if they get the chance. If you do pick one up, please could you call either Grant and Karin Neilson on 09-283478, 09-60511 or 0912 402 339 or Richard and Bookey Peek on 011 615 582.

POWER NEWS FROM ABUZ
One of our Members has recently returned from Switzerland and noted that even though they have abundant sources of electrical power they are still very conscious of the need for conservation Most hotels have sensors which switch off lights and only switch them on again when they detect movement.
On his return to Bulawayo he noticed the vast number of lights that were on when power was available - in houses, gardens, driveways etc - with no thought given to conservation In Zimbabwe at present, and for the foreseeable future, we have an acute shortage of power. This is due mainly to the lack of correct and timeous maintenance of the infrastructure as well as not having made provision for increased demand This has resulted in a dependence on importing power from neighbouring countries which has to be paid for in forex Although we have the right to complain that the present situation should not have been allowed to develop, this does not alter the situation. It is surely incumbent on all of us to use the power that we have as sparingly as possible Switch off non-essential lights and appliances which are on standby. Replace ordinary globes with the energy saving type Every little saving helps- as well as reducing your bill it will also help to reduce the frequency of power cuts

I would like to have news about two chaps who worked with me on the Sunace Mine out on the Queens road in 1952..1954
They were Dennis Greatham who married Yvonne and then worked I believe as a foreman fitter for years with Rhodesia railways in Bulawayo
Phillip Cook who married Margaret Tulloch and then worked for the cement works and at sometime later went to Mono pumps in Harare
I would like news of the Thompson family who lived out towards the North End in one of the Pisa houses before you came to the police station They were Shirley who first married Noel Kidwall who played in a band and then she married a pharmacist Rosenberg and lived in Johannesburg I believe she has now died but would like to contact him as he may be able to advise where her sister Shelagh is now, I know she married sometime in the fifties but do not know her married name though I believe he was a builder in Bulawayo. Shirley had an older sister who I think married a policeman John Wilkinson She also had a younger brother and sister I would be gratefull of any news as if possible I would like to make contact again. I now live in Dorset in England and have been here for the last nine years
