My brother sent me a link to an Youtube-movie of which he thought that would be nice for me to watch. And he was right…
It was a movie from 1972 and it about the blood transfusion campaign of Dutch Red Cross Haaksbergen. In 1972 I was 9 years old.
The nicest thing about the movie is that my father and my brother can be seen in it. In the beginning two men can be seen who are unloading the “Ford Transit”. The man who with his hands full pillows turn towards the camera is my father (who passed away 14 years ago).
It is a bit strange. Of many things and persons that can be seen in the movie I have memories.
So I can remember very well Hotel Centraal”, but that is already gone for a very long time. I can remember the blue “Ford Transit” that the Dutch Red Cross Haaksbergen used for transportation.
I am happy to have this movie.
That movie is something very precious to hold on to.
I am sorry that I never have met your father. I heard many good things about him.
