You commented on one of my images in 2008 and I read it again tonight. It means a lot to me, thank you!

Hi Bernard, I am interested in your old pictures of the Dunklings store. Did you used to work there?

Best regards,

Matt

Somehow I missed the fact that you are a cat lover. Enjoyed Sookie's pictures. I noted that you used lots of cat quotes and I did, too, in this slideshow of my Beegie, which I made with PTE several years ago. I made it before PTE allowed you to easily save it in a form easily uploaded to the web. You can download it here from Dropbox, since it can't be emailed (and I don't have your email address!) https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6494919/BeegiePTEShow.exe (If it isn't there, it's still uploading - just 13mb)

Arnhem. fantastisch dat ik myn man's oom en tante vond op een van de foto's. onze familie
bestaande uit jasper, tine, roel, jasper en luc is in 1962 geemigreerd naar sana marIS
CALIFORNIA. THANKS, TINE VAN SOLINGE

Dag Bernard, googelend op internet vond ik een foto van Truus Leferink en vriendin Lida Temmink en zo kwam ik op de site met alle foto's en documenten, die je er op publiceert. Zelf ben ik aan het begin van dit proces om het familie-archief vast te leggen. Er zijn veel gelijkenissen. Een Temmink boerderij in de buurt van Haaksbergen en vele adressen in Enschede die parallel lopen met die van de familie Leferink. Een tak van de familie in de USA en zelfs een foto van Ootmarsum waar we nu wonen. Begrijp dat je in Melbourne woont, de dochter van Lida Graas Temmink op de foto met Truus Leferink woont in Adelaide. Je site is een leuke inspiratiebron. Ik zal er zeker nog eens op terugkijken. Groet uit het mooie Twente van Josée Temmink.

i saw yr site about leferinks. i didn't know there were in the u.s.a. and then to see haaksbergen in america! it is special. we have the same grand grand grand father: Berend Jan Leferink who married first C Fr van Helden in 1839 and the 2nd time with Arendina Boonk in 1851. a son from this marriage, bernhard (1866-1964), is my grandfather.

Hallo Bernard,
Nu ik eindelijk wat van de computer weet heb ik jouw site bezocht.
Ik vond het erg leuk om foto's te zien van mijn opa Jaques en mijn ooms en tantes en mijn vader Antoon, ik heb de foto's aan mijn dochter laten zien, zij vond het erg leuk haar opa op zo een jonge leeftijd te zien! We hebben erg genoten van deze kiekjes. Onlangs ben ik in het bezit gekomen van foto's van mijn vader en moeder. Als je wilt kan ik proberen om ze naar je toe te mailen, er zitten ook foto's bij van mensen die ik niet ken, maar jij misschien wel.
Hartelijke groeten uit holland

Mr Bosmans, I just browsed through your bark and leaves collection; I have to say, I am beginning to think leaves are more beautiful than flowers. You have a wonderful eye for composition; some people put too much in a photo. You also have a great eye for lighting. I wonder if you use any artificial lighting and/or if you stage the leaves to catch the light? It seems almost impossible to "happen" onto so many shots with such wonderful light qualities. Whatever the case, I received great pleasure from looking at your photos. I also notice you have a lot of varieties of leaves I've never seen here in the U.S. (but I don't spend much time outdoors--the mosquitoes and other biting insects love me too much).
Bert de Vos30-Oct-2009 17:34

It was a real pleasure to have you as our guest in your beloved Lombok-Arnhem. It was interesting and fun to hear your stories from times gone-by. I truly saw that Lombok still has a warm place in your heart. I am looking forward to read your experiences during your visit to Holland and Arnhem and to see your pictures in your web album.
Warmest regards. Rob and Afina.

Hello Bernard, I went through in a few pages in your galleries, and it is amazing stuff here. I found interesting, and all my admiration for colecting and displaying your family history. It is not a common one.
I bookmarked the side, and I'll be back soon to see interesting places and faces from your cameras.
Thanks so much.
All the best

Hi Bernard,
Thanks for visiting my galleries and for your many nice comments of some weeks ago.
Meanwhile I was reading your family history and I'm really impressed.
I think it is rather unique that someone is able to show such a huge collection of old family photos. The pictures are still in a very good condition or at least have been treated and/or retouched very well.
Although your story is about to me fully unknown people, I read it from A to Z with great interest.
You've a great talent to visualize situations and occurrences from the past in a captivating way. And the grade of nostalgia to bygone times in mentioning things like leesplankjes, drollevangers, long-ago cigarette brands etc. makes the whole story extra attractive since these things are so familiar to me and recall many memories.
I hope you're going to continue your story and I'm looking forward to read about your starting years in Australia.

Kind regards,

Ger van Hulst.

Scherp observeringsvermogen Bernard! (about the salad) Had het zelf niet eens gezien. Hier maakt mijn goede vriendin zich op om af te reizen naar Australië. Ruim 6 weken zal ik haar moeten missen, maar ze komt hopelijk met mooie foto's terug. In ieder geval veel 'voorpret' met de foto's van je. Met veel groeten,
