Vanderlaan Family Photographs from Our Book - "Ancestors Memories and Simple Gifts" - The History of the Vanderlaan Family - and Many Many More Pictures that People Sent Me.

All these Pictures are curved
because I Just Pointed the Camera
at the Book and the Pages are Curved...

12/25/2021: We had a Family Gathering on ZOOM... Wonderful fun... Totally Safe from COVID-19... Finding out what's popular with children these days... and New Jobs for the 20 somethings... and Old folks re-telling stories... Excellent... These people are precious to me... I was sitting at the dining room table with my housemates and the Care giver in the background serving lunch... and all of the residents waved and said "Hi" to my family... That gave my family a True Idea of My Lifestyle... at an Old Folks home with SIX Residents and One Care giver on duty 24 hours a day..

Hi all,

I Took My Parents to the Iran-Contra Hearings at the US Capital. General Secord Testifying. Exciting! I was really glad to take Mom and Dad to a place that they had fun at.
