Gemeente Duiven Notification of Registration of Judgment

 Both of us immigrated to the USA from The Netherlands on August 29, 1983
The divorce got finalized on May 3, 1983 but Pieter's ex with whom he lived as brother and sister for 28 years, refused to sign any papers...
So we could NOT marry before we immigrated...
To: Master J.A. Boekelman in Venray, The Netherlands (Pieter's lawyer).
Notification of registration of judgment.

I hereby inform you that on 10 October 1983 the judgment of the District Court of Roermond for divorce was entered in the registers of civil status of that municipality in respect of P.J.C. Vedder: D.E.T. Jeurissen

Respectfully 
The civil registrar of Duiven

On my FIRST Birthday I got Measles, Mumps and Rubella Vaccine

What an idea... On Wednesday, February 6, 1952 I got my triple vaccine: Measles, Mumps and Rubella!
At least for my Diphtheria and Whooping Cough + Tetanus vaccine they waited till two days after my 9th Birthday!
But we all are fortunate for having received those vaccines!
