OLD FRIENDS ARE LIKE GOOD OLD WINE

Johan Viljoen and his two grandchildren in George, South Africa. Johan and I became friends before the Dead Sea was even sick...He is well in his sixties, but only show a few gray hair on his temples. A fisherman, hunter and cycle for hobbies and an entrepreneur in home estates in the Mosselbay area near George. An honest christian guy with no hidden agendas. We use to make more fire than there was meat for the barbeque's! He can enjoy a good laugh but is still sensitive about his previous attempts to make money. Like the one when he bought an old lion to put out for professional hunters, however, before he could execute the event, it died of old disease (maybe stress in the cage?)! But if you are looking for a good deal in the house market near Mosselbay in South Africa, I can reccommend him as your sole agent...

BEER DRINKERS

PEOPLE & THEIR DRINKS
A recent magazine survey(Spam mail), interviewed fifty bartenders and they were asked if they could identify a customer’s
personality on what drinks they ordered? Although interviewed separately, they concurred on almost all counts.
The results:

IF WOMEN DRINK DRINK IN A PUB ... (NOT AT HOME)
BEER
Personality: Casual, low maintenance; down to earth.
Approach: Challenge her to a game of pool.
WATER
Personality: She is pretentious and is looking for a serious relationship.
Approach: Don’t..

When a man drinks in a public bar:

CHEAP DOMESTIC BEER
He’s poor / student
CASTLE LAGER BEER
He likes good beer
IMPORTED BEER
He’s old; he is thinking about his travels
GUINNESS
The man is looking for women partners...

WATER
He just threw up and is trying to wash the taste out of his mouth...

BERN DE BEER (ZACHARIAS LINK)

From: Gearbox And Diff Doctor [mailto:g-diffdoc@telkomsa.net] Sent: 26 September 2008 02:53 PMTo: De Beer KallieSubject: Goodday

Interresting reading, seeing your blog!! I am also very interested in the de Beer history. Maybe you can answer a few questios i might have. I always thought i was from the bloodline of de Beers from the Town of Bern Switzerland , but after reading your blogs i am now unsure. I was under the impression that there was originally two de Beer brothers that came from Bern to s.A. The one went mining and the other was a farmer. needles to say I am from the farmer side. Sorry I am Fennela Josepha de Beer. My late father was Joseph Johannes b.1941 d. 2008 so was my grand father and so was his father. and his father was Zacharias ,chrisined 24/12/1769.Hopefully my facts are all correct so far, but what puzzles me is who was his father and when did these de Beers come to S.A. ? Would you know what the attraction would have been to come here and i like to know the history about the whole great trek. Thanx for your blog. How interresting.
Best regards Fennela Josepha (nee de beer) Goldsmith

GEORGE DE BEER IN THE UK

From: George de Beer [george@ukdebeer.fsnet.co.uk]Sent: 09 November 2008 08:50 PMTo: De Beer KallieSubject: Greetings from another de Beer
Hi Kallie,

I am reading a very interesting book on South Africa – Diamonds Gold And War by Martin Meredith and he intensively goes into the Johannes de Beer saga and how he sold his farm to the Port Elizabeth consortium.

Anyway enough of that – I came across you by googling Johannes de Beer and Kimberley. I live in the UK and am 55years of age. Believe it or not but I had a very English upbringing due to the fact that my father also George de Beer was raised in the Pietermaritzburg Railway Home and that’s where he became anglicised.

I am terribly interested in the de Beer family history and some years ago bought a Book "Die De Beer-familie Drie Eeue in Suid-Afrika" Divvie and Jaleen de Beer.

I have made some progress in tracing my family roots – My grandfather Daniel Petrus de Beer married his wife also de Beer in 1914 (Strange but they are from different de Beer’s) in Trompsburg Free State. They had a son in 15 Apr 1916 - Cornelius Johannes de Beer also in Trompsburg.
I have contacted the Ned Geref Kerk Free State and they say that all the Marriages and Baptismal Records were destroyed in a Church fire. Could you possibly provide any advice into me being able to find something about my grandfather who died a paupers death in Durban in 25/12/1929


Kind Regards
George de Beer
