In Holland for the 60th Anniversary of the Liberation of Holland, we veterans were guests of the WELCOME AGAIN VETERANS Committee
of Holten. They billeted us with Dutch families and provided us with a fleet of busses for transportation, and splendid guides.
My friend from Peterborough, Doug Dunlop and I were lucky- we got Gerry van Zeijts, who we called "Garry," and Joke
Voordes (that's pronounced "Yoke!"). They looked after us very well, turning us out for the many events, and providing
us with a running commentary in excellent English.
