The Great Bodman Search

I have been trying to locate Wendy Bodman - the once river guardian. She mapped out the water system of Johannesburg. A walking trail in Sandringham was named after her. I think I have enough information to write a side-bar about her but I would like to speak to her family and/or friends. Se passed away you see. Marianne Laserson - one of the river guardians with Paul Fairall said their kids went to preschool together in Sandringham. Unfortunately neither me nor Marianne can find the name Bodman in a phone book.

I have also tried South African genealogy websites. All I know is that Bodman is a German name - I knew that before looking for it on the net - and that some Bodmans live in Australia.

Best I keep hunting! Apparently Wnedy's husband was at Elphin estate?
