IN MEMORIUM – JOANNA SHARLAND
In the Dec 2005 Journal we paid tribute to a number of Octaganerian Vernackers.
One of these was Joanna Sharland, a former mayor of Bulawayo in the 70’s who with her husband Clive lived in a historic Simon’s Town cottage and became involved in local affairs.
She was introduced to the Vernacs by June Sykes at an outing to the Sandveld and will be remembered by us as an intrepid member and a valiant walker.
We mourn her passing and her sparkle.
