<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/">lowlands-l.net/gallery/</a>). Arend wrote to me privately and agreed to this. I will alert you when it is done.<br><br>I am very glad and grateful Arend chose to share his sad news with his fellow-Lowlanders. This is very much in the spirit of what I like to see over and above sharing academic and practical information, because it enhances the atmosphere of camaraderie and fellowship that makes our list special and, in the long run, helps to make this world a better place. I hope that those of you that joined us recently, most recently from Vancouver (Canada) and Edirne (Turkey), will remember this.
<br><br>Among other things, Arend wrote (in Drenthe Low Saxon): "</font><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Kracht , komp mangs uut kleine dinger. </span></font><font face="Arial" size="2">
<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Een mail van vrunden mit een paar woorden wel een meinse 't
pad wiest" -- meaning, in brief, that one draws strength from small things also and from messages from friends that keep one on one's path.<br><br>Hyr hest us handen, leyve Arend. Vaat tou!</span></font>
