| Just after the war finished Tine and we had moved from the Orteliuskade to Amstelveen to a bigger house, and our friend Tantan (An Sam) - who in the meantime had retired as Headmistress of a Girls School in Beverwijk - moved in with us. In Amstelveen we lived very happily until quite unexpectedly Tine had a heart attack, which left her partly paralysed. It was a great shock to us all. Dad was home between voyages. It took only a few weeks and then she had another attack and we found her dead in bed one morning in October at 7 am. Her death changed our life considerably, apart from leaving a great emptiness in my life. She was only 55 years old. Dad left shortly after the funeral to go to Texas to collect a tanker "Stanvac Pendopo" to go to Indonesia and he did not come back for 18 months. During his absence Treesje (Teresa) made her appearance. Dad came back and decided to give up seafaring and he got a job at Philips (N.S.F. Hilversum = Nederlandse Seintoestellen Fabriek). |
