Hi Tombi, Don't know if there is any significance here, but my husband did his pharmacy apprenticeship with a Neville Le Cordier who owned a Chemist shop in Kimberley. That would have been in the early 1960s. I asked my husband if he thought Neville might still be alive, and he said that if he is, then he would probably be in his 80s now. Hope this will help.
