Sure I am interested. Zeelandic is important to me, for it gives me a
large
part of my identity. That is what I wrote to Mr. de Vries as well. That
reminds me to thank you, Ron (or would you rather be called Reinhard),
for
your statement towards Mr. de Vries.
I am especially interested in people who are now living abroad (a lot of
Zeelandic people went to Canada and Australia in the 40's and 50's) and
still speak Zeelandic. You might know some old Zeeland expressions I can
use in my columns in a regional paper (De Bevelander). Anyway, It would
be
interesting to converse in Zeelandic on this site.

Kind regards,

You're welcome.  I can well relate to your situation and feelings, as I
am sure many other subscribers can.

Please use whichever you prefer.
