I always enjoy hearing from people who find my page from places near and far. And it pleases me to know that my page has often provided a taste of home for area natives who left the Dutch Country somewhere in time.

I also appreciate the many contributions that people have sent for inclusion on my page. However, I've learned that some of the material which circulates on the Internet is not very original; some has been published in local newspapers and books. Often I cannot be certain of an original source, and therefore can no longer include reader submitted material on my page. Thanks anyway, and please send it my way if you only want to humor me and it's Dutchie in nature!

It's also a pleasure to hear from people who just want to say Hi or pass along a comment or suggestion. I reply to most everyone, although not always the next day [wink]! And sorry, I can't do any language translations.
