My parents

A great portrait of my parents after my youngest sister's wedding. After migrating to Australia dad and mum did valuable work helping other Dutch migrants in a Christian church context. Dad travelled throughout NSW to help and network Dutch migrants in the early 1950s, while Mum made sure there was always a meal or bed for those who needed it. After 10 hectice but rewarding years they moved to a church in southern Tasmania and a somewhat quieter life. The Netherlands Govt recognised their service via their Honours system.
