LIFELONG WORK (THAT MATTERS)

I received my May/June issue yesterday, and while reading your editor’s note entitled ‘Work that matters’, I happened to receive the attached photo from my older brother. What a coincidence indeed! Although he’s 84 years of age, my brother still loves engines.

The image on the left shows him, as a young man, working on an MG at Meissner Motors in Paarden Eiland, Cape Town, in 1969. The one the right was taken this year – he’s working on a similar MG in Wellington, in the Western Cape.

He’s spent many years working on carburettors, and he’s always enjoyed his work. JAAP VON MOLENDORFF

That’s a wonderful photo comparison, Jaap. More than 50 years have passed between the two photographs, and your brother still clearly enjoys what he does – that’s really remarkable. – Mark, Editor
