I am married to Henk van Vooren 1976 and we have two children, a son Geert born in 1982 and a daughter Suzanne in 1984. My father's name is Simon Botter, he is born in 1926 and all his working life serving in the Dutch army, in the enginering corps and still very proud. My grandfather's name was also Simon Botter, he was born in 1896 in Arnhem and was also serving in the Dutch Army. He was for many years the vice-conductor of the Royal Dutch Army Band (K.M.K.) he died in 1978 in Tiel. I hope this information is interesting for you. My question for you is: Are you from any Dutch origine? Maybe you are able to give me an answere. Greetings from Corry van Vooren-Botter.
