Greetings from Aad & Leny Dingjan

To all fellow ETP-4’s and especially to Anthony and Dermot.

In the ETP 4 program I am one of the oldest members. When I came to Japan in 1983, I brought along my wife Leny and 3 sons: Daan (9), Wouter (7) and Koen (2). Daan passed away in 2010 due to brain tumor, leaving behind a son. In total Leny and I have 5 grand children.

The training in Japan has had a great impact on my life and career. After the ETP program was over, we stayed in Japan till 1989, getting the Holland based seed company I was working with, better established in Japan. Then we moved for the same company for 2 years to Singapore till 1991.

At that time the company went through a difficult period, which resulted into a change. I joined a Japanese seed company, working in Europe, till my retirement in 2009. In total I worked exactly 40 years, for 4 different seed companies.

Since 9 years we enjoy the freedom of being retired in good health. Usually we spend our time with the grand children, friends, sports, travelling and other minor hobbies.

Peter is threatening to bring 2 albums of photos - incriminating evidence of past misdeeds.

Greetings from Patrick Leray [ . . old age is a ship wreck! ]

I didn't want to make an old veteran's serious speech about the good old days !

Let's face reality !

At least I hope that it will make you laugh.

I wish you all the best for the party.
Cheers,
Patrick

 Patrick seems to channeling the spirit of Marcel Marceau in this wonderfully amusing greeting.

Hello from Alessandro and Wilma Laryn

We won’t be able to come (to Tokyo reunion), but wish you all to have a great time.

In the last months, we have successfully sold our estate to the Christchurch City Council, and have moved to Auckland, where we plan to live our retirement years devoting our time to hobbies new and old, especially sailing as we used to do in the Mediterranean many years ago (see attached 40 years old photo, surfaced during removal).

Kindest regards,
Alex and Wilma
