I do believe this may be the Geoff Klass who went to Auckland Park Preparatory School in the early 50s. My Mom, in her navy blue Zephyr, used to give Geoff lifts home after school.
Geoff did not talk much in the car, and hardly ever even said thank you for the lift. He and I were promoted during a scholastic year to keep our brains occupied. Geoff was obviously highly intelligent.
