 On Jan 21, my old "ship-mate" and long-time Anglo American geologist Desmond O'Shea treated me to lunch at Capetown's magnificent Victoria and Albert Waterfront |
Capetown, Jan. 2004 Much has changed in the 40 years since we first met: e.g. St George's Street is now St George's MALL |
 But at the corner still stood the "Rhodes Building", where we first met when his father - director of one of De Beer's subsidiaries - had his offices here and "hosted" OSESA |
 looking up the Cape - Dutch facade of the Rhodes Building |
 and across to the Chapel |
