hey One of my oldest friends lost her brother in a diving accident on Sunday, I found out last night. I played hockey with him for 3 years at high school and I've known him since I was about 11 and he was 9. Apparently he went diving with 10 other experienced divers; by the time they realised something was wrong with him (and I don't yet know what was) he was already dead. He was a vintner with a top wine farm here in Cape Town and the family celebrated the birth of his first child a mere 6 weeks ago. He was 26. People tell me things happen in threes. If so, he was the third kid from my high school to die in the last month - the other two were road accidents. All of us Edgemead boys and girls, new and old alike, are feeling kinda mortal today. laters.
