Hallo,
I'm a German citizen who worked as a doctor in both hospitals in Mufulira 1974 and 1975. I am
looking for my old friend Rex Fertig, his wife Nina and his children Ricky and Jaquie. Yesterday I followed the questions of
Rex Fertig's last daughter Anastasia
who lives in Paris (july/august 2006) and who wanted to know some
details of the life of her father whom she apparently lost at the age of nine years (I learnt that Rex was
murdered 11 years ago which I did not know).
I sent an e-mail to Anastasia Fertig but it did not arrive at her
address (ana.fertig@gmail.com). Does anybody
know her address and new e-mail-number; and does anybody know where Nina Fertig and her children
Jaqueline and Ricky live today?
Furthermore I would like to know if anybody can tell me where my former
colleagues from Ronald Ross and
Malcolm Watson Hospital are to be found: Dr. Derek Harvey, Dr. Mc Coll, Dr. John Mc Nicoll, Dr. Mike
Girdwood, Dr. Edward Kirwan, Dr. Peter Stewart, Mr. Eric Rea, Dr. Bhatt, Dr. Stuart Malcolm, Dr. Ingrid
Rosenkranz?
Same to the hospital manager Mike Cook and his wife Jenny; The director of the Mufulira underground mine,
Dr. Rolf Rosenkranz; the ingeneer Werner Hock and his wife Evelyne?
With kind regards - also from my wife Marlene who worked as Nurses tutor in the Ronald Ross - from an old
fellow who still remembers with joy at a great time

Dear Sir / Madam,
I have recently discovered your website, very exciting, a window to my past. I was born in Mufulira in 1958 at the Malcolm Watson Hospital. We left for the UK in 67 when I was nine years old. I
noticed an old friend on your contact page and sent her an 'e' mail, unfortunately it could not be delivered as
the address is obsolete. Her name is Valda Redfern, I don't suppose you have any further information on her
do you? My name is Graham Kirk and am now living in the UK, my 'e' mail address is
gramhamkirk@yahoo.co.uk.
I would be most grateful if you could add me to your contact list, please note
the misspell of my name in the 'e' mail address is deliberate.
Best regards,
Graham Kirk

Hi Ex-Muf folk,
What a joy to stumble apon this site. My Father (and us ex-kids) lived in Muf from 1963/4 - 1980. Vic
Pretorius is his name, some of you might still remember him, he is alive and well and has retired in
Uvongo, South Coast in South Africa with his wife Gill.
Any old friends out there who remember me, I am Vic's youngest daughter, Salome Pretorius (now: Sally
Lewitt) followed by Victor and Brenda. I reside in Vanderbijlpark, South Africa after living in the USA for 10
years. Miss the good old days of Magic, and looking at these photos brought a tear to the eye.
