Robert
"Bob" McConnell Nakuru School [where he
was known to his friends as "Akdeeg" or "Deeg"
for short].
Also Prince of Wales. Kenya Police Reserve. Fisheries Officer.
Obituary. McConnell Robert (Bob) MBE, on
24 December 2001.
Bob, Ivan Cronyn,
Matt
Bob, Bernard Cronyn, Matt
Dennis Leete
writes: “I have to report the death of Bob McConnell, here at Fairseat
Home. Bob was rejected for service in the Regiment on fitness
grounds in 1952, but served in the KPR (Kenya Police reserve), and as a
DOKG (District Officer Kikuyu Guard) until he was employed as Fisheries
Officer on Lake Rudolph in 1957.
He was an ardent Associate Member and always visited the Clubhouse
when in Nairobi. Many of you will remember him at POW school, or if you
ever went up to Lake Rudolph on a fishing safari, you were bound to meet
him, or fall foul of him if you tried to poach. He became a famous
personality up there, teaching the Turkana how to fish, and changing
their lives. Indeed, they asked him to be their MP at Legco at
Independence, he was that highly thought of. He was a friend of HRH
Prince Philip, and Prince Charles who used to visit Rudolph privately,
and there is a signed photo of Philip in his album. He was awarded an
MBE for his services. In 1976, he joined the United Nations in Southern
Sudan at Malakal, also with Fisheries, and moved to Uganda in 1981, up
North in Pakwach on the Nile, until he got shot through the thigh in an
ambush by the infamous Lords Resistance Army and left for dead under the
bodies of his driver and passenger who were both killed.
Bob retired to the Isle of Man, for a few years. but came back and lived
in Malindi , until ill health forced him to move into Fairseat about a
year ago. A loner who never married, Bob suffered from hydrocephelus.
and had a large head, and I suppose was teased as a kid and never dated
any girls. He became huge latterly, must have weighed ?350 or more
pounds. But the Turkana didn’t worry about that. There are hundreds of
Turkana kids called “makono?named after him, as Ian Parker
discovered recently when he sailed around the lake in a small boat and
asked if they remembered him. At his request, Ian and Gilfred Powys flew
him up to visit a few months back. The Turks met him in their thousands,
feted him and carried him to the boat, like siafus carrying a nzige! He
stayed three days and was glad to get back to Malindi, for they drank
him dry!
Already a legend, I guess Bob will become a deity to the Turkana in the
course of time?

DAVID RANDALL <randalldavid27@yahoo.com>
Son of PATRICK PAUL RANDALL KR NO 6899, Looking for my
fathers relatives. they all left to south Africa early 60s,my grandpa/ma
names are JOHN LESLEY RANDALL/SUSAN SOPHIE RANDALL. he had
brothers/sisters namely Harry/Elizabeth and others. please anyone with
information of their whereabouts contact me +254 0721215127, I will
appreciate a lot.
I was born in Eldoret in 1955 and went to Loretto
Convent in 1960 and 1961 and from there I went to Nairobi Primary School
till 1968. Anyone that recognises my name, I would love to hear
from you.
I was born in Nakuru in 1950
at the Nakuru War Memorial Hospital. My birth name was Sandra
Watchman Storrar. I went to Nakuru School, and then we moved to
Nairobi when I was about eight. I attended Westlands Primary
School there. My father, Alexander Storrar, was the Deputy
Director of Agriculture, and then the Director of Settlement. He
was one of the few British who stayed to help the new African
government after independence. My mother, Bunny Storrar, taught at
various schools, including Kenya High, Westlands, Agha Khan
Schools, Duke of York, and Prince of Wales. My bother, Jimmy
Storrar, went to Prince of Wales and then Strathmore.
I have been trying to locate any
information on a man named, variously, Ronald B Delabere* or Ronald D.
Barker. He was born in NZ around 1890. He moved to England and then
joined the 25th Royal Fusiliers in 1915 and went to BEA. After that war
I believe he was a planter and hunter. He had married a lady in England
in 1915 named Dorothy. They divorced in 1929. Ronald apparently lived in
the Rufiji area and earned the nickname 'Hermit Hunter'. He wrote
several books and articles relating to the Rufiji area one actually
published as 'Rufiji'. He self published a number of small books and had
them distributed by the Dar es Salaam bookshop. He published one called
the 'Five shilling wife' in the 1960's. If anyone can please help I
would be very grateful. I am just adding to New Zealand history.
I'm Janet, the youngest of the
Bradley family (father Jim (deceased) and mother Barbara living in

We briefly lived in Dar-es-Salaam prior to the family returning to Wales, UK in 1962 whilst I was only 6.
I have few memories of my life in Kenya, unfortunately, but I would like to get in touch with anyone who might have known my wonderful father. I know that he was acquainted with Sid Moscoff, Ernie Gibson, Harry Lloyd (who I was lucky to meet but who have since regretfully passed away). John Dugmore is another name that comes to mind.

Thomson's Falls. She had worked at the Barry Hotel . Her parents were Percy & Jesse Dormer who
originally moved to Entebbe in 1948.
I live in Brisbane, Australia but one day I hope to revisit Kenya.

Does anyone recognise my family name, Saint Ange?
I know my mother's family owned a coffee farm near Lake Nakuru and that they were called Wilson and Eugenie St.
Ange. My mother's name was Irene Grace and she had a sister that she lost touch with when she moved to England. I believe they sold their farm in the fifties and moved to live close to the Mthika

family lived.

Born in
Kenya 1947, went to Nairobi primary school 1956 to 1960 as border,
emigrated to Melbourne Australia in 1960. Unfortunately my memory of my
school friend names I have forgotten, but if anyone out there has a
better memory I would love to hear from you, from an ex Kenyan.
My (late) Father was a proud
member of the Kenya Regiment 1953-1955, KR 4381, Served in
"I" Company and was part of the Pseudo/Clandestine Ops
set-up. As far as I recall, he told me that he had stayed in
Eldoret, was at some point in Nakuru, Matriculated at Prince of
Wales School. He had a very good friend, Bill Woodley (I think won
the MC or VC) and a Tracker by the name of Gibson Wambugo-Mugo. He
also had a friend called Sid Moscoff, who passed away shortly
after my dad did. Last I heard Bill Woodley was at Tsavo National
Park in Kenya. My Father passed away on 13 May 1991, but spoke
fondly about his experiences in the Kenya Regiment. I had the
honour of serving in a similar "elite" SA Unit, so we
understood what each went through.
Bill Woodley died some time
ago.
Pseudo terrorists.
Jean De Lahey
was one of the girls at the Thompson Falls Sports Club in the
early 50's. This song was her favourite, and she used to sing it.
Another one was "Wham bam thankyou Mam". If I remember
rightly, Jean had a brother, David.
Others who may remember this are, Phill Sykes, Pete
Penrose, John Lomax, Micky Wright, and Danny Haus.
When "If you got the money, I got the the time" is
finished you can select other songs from the record sleeve
pictures.
Sadly, Jean passed away in 2006.
