To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Pat Beech and I was married to Bumpy/Albert Beech.

Sadly Bumpy passed away 15 months ago.

During some research I was conducting I came across your website and was wondering if I could ask you a big favour.

Bumpy passed away from malignant asbestoses and I am desperately trying to get hold of as many people as I can who worked with him at the Mufulira Mine and Mufulira Municipality.

Is there at all a possibility that you can post a message on your website asking anyone who knew my husband to please contact me by return email or on UK 07746069269.

Thank you so very much and I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Pat Beech

Subject: re passing of 2 old Mufulirans

Good day

It is with great sadness that I want to inform you of the passing of Leon
Roelof Schoeman, on the 12th of May 2007, after a short sickbed. He lived at
J111, Mufulira, Northen Rhodesia from 1948 to 1963. He was the son of Martie
and Willie Schoeman (who worked on the housing maintenance at Muf Mine).
Leon was a close friend of Eddie Wakefield and Henry Vermeulen.  Leon was
schooled at Muf and was stationed at Llewelyn Barracks in Bulawayo for
military training.  He did his electrical apprenticeship at Muf Mine and
then relocated to Cape Town.

The attached photo of Leon was taken in 1962 in Cape Town (click pic for slightly larger image).

He spend his final years in Westonaria in Gauteng and was laid to rest in Westonaria.

His mother, Martie Schoeman, passed away on the 14th of July 2007. Martie
spend her final years in an old age home in Randfontein, Gauteng; where she
was laid to rest.

We would like to know the whereabouts of Eddie Wakefield.

For further information gladly contact Elize Schoeman on 084 463 1030

My colleagues in this company are Henry Van Den Oever and  Lynne Whetton ( wife of John Whetton) all ex Mufulira. Coincidence?

Terry: Peter and Avril c/o son Glen Terry born in 1961 Mufulira living in Melbourne Australia.

My parents Peter and Avril Terry  lived and worked in the Mufulira copper mine. I was born in Mufulira in 1961. Our family left shortly after my birth to South Africa, Southbroom, Natal, where they have lived ever since. I do not remember Mufulira but my parents always spoke highly of our family's time there. My family now lives in Melbourne, Australia.

Best Regards
Glen John Terry
