Tjerke was about 6 years younger than me and as a little boy he had the thinnest legs I have ever seen.

I last saw Marijke when we were both 19 - a long time ago. She was at teacher training college in London and I don't think any of the family is still in the Accrington area.
Said I wasn't fluent in dutch West Ender, but yes its the same family I remember they lived across from the Sacred Heart church and remember one becoming a priest
