Dear Greet and Duxan,

It was lovely to hear something from you I am pleased to hear Duxan is getting more and more work as a dentist.Greet,Ithink you also have a lot of work with your husband and four lovely children,especially with the little twins Clara and Todor.

We are all well and enjoying our retirement.I still help where I can with our farmer Frank;it is a question keeping fit.My wife,your loving aunt,has also a lot of work you know:six children and ten grandchildren.

The weather here is always very bad,cold and rainy,and there hasn't been sowed or planted on the fields get.

It has been some time yet since we visited you in Belgrado together with Greet's parents,Then there was no war.We truly had a wonderful time.

Your hospitality and all the places youtook us to see.They were most interesting.I remember:the trips we made in busy Belgrado in the hot evenings ;the baptism of Jana and Duxan's friendly family and friends;the luxurious grave of Tito;the mount Avalo;the boatexursion on the blue Donau;the beau-tiful cities Dubrovnic and Mostar;pelgrimage-place of Metjogornië;the plidvice-waterfalls and so on ....

The pity of the war,who has divided your beautiful country.

Maybe this summer you spend your holidays in Belgium at uour parents then we going invite all of you to a magnificent summerparty!

We are really looking forward to seeing you and your children again.

Give our regards to Duxan's parents Milan and Liliane and on his

Brother Borislav.

Regards to you all

Joris and Ida
