I was able to meet the couple who own the windmill in Groesbeek. They were George's guests in Canada and they visited Coe Hill with George. We quaffed a few in the Legion and George bought. Quite an honour for me.
Kees (pronounced Case) who owns the mill was very excited about the Canadian connection and has led a very interesting life. His English is superb and he would be well worth visiting if you ever get to Groesbeek. His lovely wife doesn't speak English so I drove her nuts trying out my atrocious Dutch the whole afternoon.
Cheers,
Barry

Jeez,Barry...
I didn't know "Churcher" was Dutch..I thought it was half Scotch and half soda.....Ohhhhhh....maybe I'm mixing you up with "Winnington-Brawl"........
Saw George on Sunday afternoon..His son had him out for the afternoon and they stopped by the house for a minute or two...He's looking well and hopefully he will be out of there soon..
