This page provides links to the content of an autobiography I wrote during 2008 to 2011, primarily for my children and their families. I printed copies for each of my children and my siblings. You are free to read (or even download and print) any or all of it. Each section or chapter is stored as a separate ‘pdf’ file. Some sections with a number of photographs may take a few seconds to load.

/ 3 March 2012Hi Bill,
I have read, with great interest, your Path Through Life. I think partly because of your parents immigration and that of Tante Aal and Oom Kees I also became interested and emigration to Canada even before I knew John.
Your life’s journey certainly has been an adventurous one, more so than most of us, wonderful you were able put if all in writing.
As soon John has finished Codoleezza Rice’s autobiography he will read yours, I’m sure he will enjoy it as much as I did.
Congratulatons!! on your accomplishment, it must have been a long haul but a rewarding one.
Greetings from Tineke and John.
