School Story

In England in the 50’s the English would call ducky and I would tell them “I am not a duck, and tell them my name”.
In Netherland when President Kennedy was assassinated.
Enjoyed the time in Netherland was a teenager,
I should not have to say more. Hehe.

Comment

Of all the places you’ve lived, which one still holds a piece of your heart — and why?

I was a teenager in the Netherlands. The place was beautiful in the country. A lot of history,
Museums, Tulip Fields, and bicycling around to see thing. At that time not many cars.

Comment

Have you been back to visit any place you lived growing up overseas?

No, I am handicapped. Can not fly. Things are not meant for a lot of handicap people to take that kind of journey. At my age staying in one
place is all I can do.
