Welkom Jan-Simon

Jan-Simon welcome to the Stampcommunity forum ! Where are you from in the Netherlands ? Perhaps my wife can get to practice her Dutch !Phil

Hi Phil,
I live in Den Oever, that is in the most northern part of the North-Holland province, about 70 kms north of Amsterdam.
52° 56' 3" N, 5° 1' 46" E if you want to check it out in Google Earth or something like that

Jan-Simon.....I was just on the telephone, with your friend Mr Goyette...John sends his regards..

Welcome Jan-Simon, sounds like you have a wealth of information as to
world stamps to share. Much appreciated as learning in the hobby is great.

Wow, a small world, isn't it? I thought there was a familiar ring to your nickname although I had no idea what it was. I must have heard it from John at a certain time

I should get in touch with John, I have been a bit absent-minded lately and have neglected stamps and all the stampfriends I have a bit...
if you get to speak to him before I get a chance, say hello from me.

Jan- Simon my wife is from Laren N.H. not too far from Hilversum.so you know John9913 I see him at the big stamp show in Ottawa...i am learning we stamp collectors travel in a very small world !!

If my memory serves me correct, I believe you were working on a project, the Italian workers issue, and I sent you some stamps
about 2-3 years ago.

It was a post you made either on the Stamporama chat or Stampoffers chat.

It must have been on the Stamporama chat. I used to be quite active over there, until that place went into a coma. Noone knew what had happened to Greg... Stampoffers, for some reason I never really liked the place so I stopped visiting that site.

Projects, yes... I like to take on a challenge but the Italian workers... doubtful. But then again, I don't know what I am up to myself these days so it might as well be one of many abandoned projects

Welcome, Jan.

John Goyette & I went down to Red Hook, NY in 2005 to visit Phil B. & Jopie.

You'll have a ball here!

Welcome to the stamp community, Jan-Simon!



It's great to have you with us.

Hello Jan-Simon.....

And welcome to the club.

Hi Jan-Simon,

Glad to see you here. Somewhere on this forum is a topic to put where you are from, a map maybe. I can't remember for sure.

J.S. heres a replica of the Fokker D1..the Rhinebeck WW1 aerodrome is a 20 minute walk on the road behind my house...Fokker tried to sell the planes he designed to the allies but they were not all that interested...the Germans were !!

Hi Jan-Simon,

A big welcome from downunder.

Steve

Thanks to you all. I will try to get some pictures of my collection and post them here, together with a bit of personal background. But all in good time...

@philb: nice picture of the Dr.I! My brother wil be jealous of you when I tell him that you can go see a Dr.I replica at walking distance. He is now finishing a book on another type made by Fokker, the C.V He told me that it will be translated in English, so if there are any airplane enthousiasts over here... Somewhere next year the book will be published, at least that is what he says now. He has only been working at it for four years, so what is another year
