Dear Lowlanders,

At long last I was able to add something to our online Gallery (
lowlands-l.net/gallery/) thanks to Jaap Liek's contribution.

You will find his introductions here:

Zeelandic: http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/liek.php
Dutch: http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/liek-nl.php
English: http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/liek-en.php

The exhibited works are all pieces of essay-type short prose in Zeelandic,
mostly autobiographical in nature. I find the texts very easy (as well as
enjoyable) to read and trust that most of you have similar experiences with
them.

Among other things, Jaap writes about his experiences in World War II. He
wasn't sure if this was appropriate, considering present company. I told him
it was. While we don't dwell on it, we do not pretend that negative things
did not occur between us, and we are all grown-ups and know that war
memories and conflicting feelings between neighbors tend to loom large in
the lives of those whose beginnings go back far enough.

The linguistically inclined among you and those of you that want to
familiarize themselves with non-standard Lowlands language varieties now
have at their disposal a nice sampling of Zeelandic. And this is over and
above the opportunity to get to know our Jaap a bit better.

Bedankt, Jaap!

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron

P.S.: What about that beautiful picture Jaap took from his place. The view
is obscenely scenic, I think.
