I believe you are adding the names of ex employees of Union Castle
to your website. My father, John Theed Baker, worked for many years
in different parts of Southern Africa for Union Castle. Let me know
what information you would like and I will see if I can look it up
in my records.

My father, John Theed Baker ended his 43 year career as Managing
Director and on the Board of Directors for Renfreight (Union Castle
merged a number of times Freightmarine merging into what became
Renfreight) in 1989 in Durban, South Africa. During his long climb
up corporate ladder he started as an apprentice working for Union
Castle and was manager at several levels in East London, Durban and
before that in Dar es Salem, Tanzania. He also worked In
Johannesburg and also in Britain in the London office. My mother,
Elizabeth aided him in everything he did, often tirelessly
entertaining at home all sorts of people from retired ships captains
to other members of Union Castle staff. They travelled extensively
and often to Europe and Japan.
