Sabina Jelmoni, after so many years back in the Poohconer network. Became mother again on her 48st, the last egg was hidden somewhere. Amazing to see her again and what sweet memories do we have from those years. These last 2 years were amazing anyway, met Steve Robiscek again after 32 years in Amsterdam, Anoush and visited Cattie in Sweden and Jimmy and Brigitte in Switzerland. Maybe we should organize a Poohcorner revival party or as Herman suggests make a memory lane tour...

Are we supposed to outlive our children?
Are we supposed to outlive our children? NO and NO, but we cannot control life, it gives joy but life also hurts, life can suck like hell.
Friday afternoon, the daughter of a dear friend died suddenly in hospital, 15 years old from a heart attack (a small hole in the right chamber). Why? His best friend called me on Friday evening to tell me with a broken voice, why? We are not suppossed to bury our children. It should be the opposite, we bury our parents, as we did last year, You can have peace with the fact that "they lived the life they choose" but what choice did she have? She told her father that she was afraid and he thought going to the hospital...". Today the first day of April, a Sunday, will be a day to remember and enjoy our children because today we are together, cherish this day. Eventhough one son lies like a roman, zapping on the couch and the other one cursing the printer for not printing his homework. The sun is shining and today, this moment i am and they are alive.
Be alive, Jan Willem

Dear Friends of Poohcorner, Cambridge.
1988 - 1994 was for many foreign Cambridge students an amazing time, a beautiful mix of different people from all over Europe. Students from Italy, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, England and ofcourse the good old Dutch-clan.
More than 25 years ago, a long time ago, with only a few we stayed in contact but most of the contact was lost.
Therefor this initiative of the founder of it all, Jan Willem Hoffmann, who met two very old Poohcorner friends, again after 25 years in Switzerland and had a truly wonderfull time together.
So hereby i call on everybody who has visited Poohcorner, Cambridge in those years to get in contact with the gang.
