My first meeting with my new friends out Canada John Hopmans and Colleen Clark |
|
Sunday 19 June was a day that I will not forgot. On this day have I saw my new Friends John Hopmans and Colleen Clark for the first time. It was an exacting day this Sunday. I arrive by Car at 14.15 by one of John sisters in Groesbeek Then we go to the place wear John has becomes an interview together with the reporter of a Dutch week paper called 'The Bridge" that we have at 14.30 in Groesbeek. We all have have a very nice afternoon in Café Hopmans where becomes John the interview. After the interview we have all a lot of talking and some drinking together. It was a very nice afternoon and a beautiful weather with much sun in Groesbeek. Round 16.45 we go to the house of Leo Zilessen (Leo and I are the friends of John Hopmans) we all have there two hours a little party with much talking and to laugh together with some drinking at eating, John and his wife Colleen have we give some presents of Holland. John was for a moment very emotion when he saw his wonderful presents the give their Dutch friends to him and his wife Colleen. Round 18.00 we must say goodbye to the Canadian guests, John and Colleen have will much longer to visited us, but the have very little time because the must to visited many friends of John and the go to several towns in Holland. John and Colleen it was a very emotion and historic day the 19 of June 2005. And I think that the interview that all the people of Nijmegen and area read very proud is to this Dutch-Canadian couple out Canada. John and Colleen very very thanks for the fantastic moments we hope all that we have seen you again in the summer of 2008 in Canada. Thank you dear friends from Canada and we hope to see you both soon, in about three years, in the summer of 2008" Desireé Albers - Leo Zilessen - Babs Bosman en Michel Janssen |
