Whew! This is going to be quite complicated. I have to cast my memory back at least 25 years here. I hope people can follow who I am naming. I cannot take credit for the picture, first of all. It was sent to me by Rosie (Giannaccaro) Boosey. I cannot identify everyone, so I am hoping some Chingola people can help? This was a "beer softball match" photo. We would play and drink at the same time, dangerous mix ... but lots of fun. 
Kitwe Playing Fields, Softball "beer match". Front row from left to right: Yuki, Wendy Vercueil, Bev Morgan, Koji (with glasses right behind Bev), Brenda Vercueil (ex wife of Blackie Hall, now married to Wendy's father), next 3 girls to right of Brenda I don't know, male with beer bottle and dark faced person behind these 3 girls I don't know, Mad Maggi May's daughter Natasha, Mad Maggi with arm in the air, Alan "Cookie" Brassington behind Natasha, Flo Morgan next to Maggi, Flo George lounging, Rosie Giannaccaro (now married Russell Boosey) between the 2 Flo's, Next to Rosie I don't know, and I don't know the person bending forward or the person in the striped top next to her. Male lounging is Wendy's brother. Maggi is completely blocking someone immediately behind her and behind that person is Jenny Sanders and then Joy Marsh. Going right from Cookie are Nick Cavadias (later married and now divorced from Wendy), Dave Hooper and Sandra Marsh who married, divorced and are now remarried, and the other person I don't know. Standing: First two males I don't know, Ernie "Coppercrafts", Russell Boosey, Beauteous Matwetwe, Iain Elsley, Harrish Chauhan, don't know, Ricky "Ferocious" Shelton, Colin McCluskey, don't know, Malcolm Gower, Elizabeth Domijon, Blackie "Bone Crusher" Hall, and I don't know the people from Blackie to the end of the line. The African in the distance to the right may just be my garden boy, Sikulomezi, as he somehow always got into every photo I was in ... Hope folks can follow my puzzle. |
