Piet's birthday
November 2002

The 20th of November 2002 I became 75 years of age. As a present for this jubilee year Jetteke arranged, that, at the family party, a well known story-teller, Miriam Mare, would tell a couple of fairy-tales. All my brothers and sisters, except Lenne and the overseas family were on the party with their partners. Also Maarten and Gonnie Gielis as well as René Bekkers's parents were present. So we counted 22 heads.
Miriam had brought along a folded décor which was erected in the room. When all guests had arrived and had enjoyed coffee and pastry, she came on stage. After her performance the party was continued together with the story-teller. During the party Maarten Gielis made a couple of photographs, some of which are shown below.
