For my good and great friend, Dorothy Koenig: As one who was present in the labor room, so to speak, when NNC was born, I regretfully extend my best wishes to you as you put the last edition to bed. I hope all those who follow the Dutch-Colonies list realize what a magnificent and far-reaching contribution Dorothy has made to the cause of the history of the people of New Netherland and their descendants, as well as to us in our individual endeavors to discover our own family's role in all of that. I would only hope that associations like the NYG&BS, the Holland Society, the NGS, and other libraries will put some quality binding around their collections of what you have always modestly referred to as a "newsletter" and keep them intact for posterity. "Newsletter?" We the contributors and consumers of the by now distinguished NNC would rather think of it as a quarterly scholarly journal, minus the slick covers and bindings. The NNC has always been a quality product, of that I can assure you. Finally, Dorothy, I also extend my hope that even as the sun sets on the NNC, you will continue to be among us, contributing, encouraging, and setting us straight when needed. I feel sure our late mutual and marvelous friend, Pim Nieuwenhuis, shares those sentiments. My best regards to you, Ted Snediker On Nov 24, 2010, at 5:50 PM, [email protected] wrote: > As many of you know, Dorothy is retiring the New Netherland Connections with this last issue.
