Loesje van Tongeren-Barnhoorn  (1957)

Here I am playing Loesje's accordion with Loesje gracefully pretending she's enjoying it.  (1958)

Over forty years ago we became friends with Loesje and her mother.  I often wondered where she was as I hadn't seen her since 1960. Forty two years later I saw her name on "ClassMates", told my brother Pete about it and he tracked her down. We've had a great time corresponding by email.

She and her husband Henk moved to California the same year (1973) that Kathy and I went out.  She's now a realtor while Henk manages the world renown Big Horn Golf Club - The home course of Tiger Woods near Palm Springs.  Loesje also sent me some old classmates pictures that I'll be putting up on the web site soon.
