  • Dag Arthur,
    Hoe gaat het met jou en je (niet geringe) familie? Indertijd heb ik nog wel eens gecorrespondeerd met Trudy maar dat liep af. Andere dingen zijn belangrijker. Nu zou ik het leuk vinden om weer eens wat van te horen en wil je me laten weten hoe jij er over denkt?
    Groeten van Donald, ook aan Trudy.
