As we continue celebrating the rich heritage of Round Table Mossel Bay 32, we take another step back in time. ⏳
Today, we honour Natie Myerson (1933 - 2012), who served as Chairman from 1963 to 1965.
A multi-talented, adventurous & much-loved personality, Natie was an architect, businessman, local public figure, yachtsman & pilot - truly a man for all seasons. He also served as Round Table South Cape Area Chairman.
Known as “The Flying Architect”, his architectural work extended far beyond Mossel Bay, reaching Strand, Beaufort West, Graaff-Reinet & even Grahamstown.
His passion for sailing saw him play a role in the formative years of the Mossel Bay Yacht Club, where he served as President for nine consecutive years. At the age of 64, he fulfilled a lifelong dream by joining a three-man crew on a transatlantic sailing voyage to the Caribbean.
His love of aviation also led to his involvement in the construction of the Mossel Bay airfield at Asla Park. He subsequently joined the South African Air Force’s 109 Reservist Squadron, eventually rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel as Officer Commanding.
Natie was equally active in community & civic life. He became the youngest Master of the Mossel Bay Masonic Lodge & was also an active Rotarian. In addition, he dedicated 22 years to the Mossel Bay Town Council, serving as Mayor on two occasions.
The names may change. The legacy lives on. ✨
