This is a stunning picture probably taken by David. . For the first time we see our two great grandparents and Betty's sister and her kids. Dad (Tony Hall) is in front of his dad (John Hall) on the right. I would love to know the names of the Hales. It looks like they are in Durban. . This must have been a year or so before Grandpa John divorced Granny Betty and married Nola, who he met as his private secretary in Switzerland . When they divorced dad was sent to boarding school in Pretoria, aged 6. . Dad looks pretty happy here as a little kid eating his ice-cream. . Much later when we were the same age as dad is in this picture and we wanted a treat, he used to sing us a Jermy Taylor song and mom would join in: . Ag Please Daddy . Ag please daddy wont you take us to the drive in All six seven of us eight nine ten. We wanna see thet fliek about Tarzan and the Ape men And when the show is over you can bring us home again. Popcorn Chewing Gum peanuts and Bubblegum Ice Cream Candy ...
