Arie in Maastricht

The dinner took place in the Restaurant Charlemagne, and was organized by Ineke Cornelissen. The food was excellent and for a reasonable price.

When I was presented to them, they knew my name already.

We were with 32 persons from USA, Germany, Netherlands, Australia and more.

I saw pictures of them on the internet and knew their names already, but until this day, I had not met anybody personally. They hugged me and kissed me if I were an old friend. I felt so happy here. It was for me a great honor to be in between them.

The picnic was next day on July 15 as traditional in the Stadspark of Maastricht in front of the big fountain. At the picnic I met also the German friends here. I knew them too, by correspondence with other Fans.

The pictures have the date and names of the persons you see.
