Today I received a comment from an old friend of my uncle’s. Rudy Leine wrote me this message about my uncle:
Frans and I had been very good friends. We had the nicknames Ghandy and Goof when we were about 16 to 18 years old. I live in Brazil for many and many years. These days I was remembering him and started an Internet search and found this page. Frans – I will meet you in the future, thanks that you have been my friend.
Goof
This led me to do another search myself of my maternal grandfather’s name (Frans Broekveldt) and I discovered that a Dutch museum in Amsterdam is using my great grandfather’s and grandmother’s marriage license as an example of turn-of-the-century marriage documents.
The exhibition is called Bronnen uit Amsterdam (Sources from Amsterdam). Below are the accompanying materials from the website.

Between this lovely late 19th-century Brooklyn building and this horrific modern architectural eyesore – an ultramarine gem is patiently waiting to be unobscured once again.

Who Buys It Anyway? © Frank H. Jump
The New York Post is a publication that I pick up on the subway (when I ride) and look through to see how the “other side” sees the issues. It’s also very handy if you are walking your dog and need something to pick up their droppings. Boycott the NY Post? Never bought it. Never will.
