MY SCRAPBOOK
Working on my entry of Nico van Schaffelaar in my scrap book, taking a closer look at the numbers of his birth- and death dates, I realized how young he died. He was only 46. And only 12 years older than me. Sjees, he could've still lived, would now be 85. I wonder what happened to him. I guess that's one of the things I have to put in the "I'll never know" compartment. Nico's page is finished in my scrapbook. It looks good. I like the memory. I am now building up to a section on chocolate, spent this day to do some research. Believe it or not, it took me to the liberation of Holland from the German regime, in 1945. What does chocolate have to do with that? I remember the incoming troops bringing us cigarettes and chocolate, throwing it to the cheering and celebrating crowds. I was ten and still remembered the taste. But many younger children had never had chocolate and didn't like the taste. spitting it out. Can you believe that Larry Keller ?

Reading this post over I noted that I forgot to mention that Holland was liberated by the Canadian troops. Just in case readers didn't already know that.
You have written a very good article, I really am grateful to you for sharing this content with us, I know this post is very old but I happened to come across this now so I let me inform you that I am hoping to see more works from you. I was wondering is you are looking forward to have a career in one of the most promising fields like Data Science with the help of the data science course of Learnbay. This course will help you become an eligible data scientist.
