By Golly!
You ought to be in the Guiness book of records :-)
Why? Holland was at the Northern edge of the Roman empire. In fact, a
sort of road in a hill near where I grew up was rumored to have been a
Roman road. We just used it to sled down along. I have a picture of the
"Holleweg" or Hollow road, see abpw in a bit.
Like Robatoy, I grew up in Holland. I moved to the US when I was 24 (J1
visa), then stayed as immigrant, and finally naturalized. Woodworking
came by necessity, I couldn't afford to buy the furniture ...
Where does the Guinness book of records come in?
I knew Robatoy was an old fart, but I never suspected he was /that/ old!
