<p>[QUOTE="Jennifer Plesman Jackson, post: 602615, member: 10711"]Well, that’s interesting because my mom and dad were Dutch! Dad left in 1934 to work for KLM in Curaçao. Mom was born in Suriname (at the time a Dutch colony) then moved to Curacao where they met. The war intervened and Dad was drafted into the Netherlands Royal Air Force and sent to New York and then to the Royal Netherlands Flying School in Mississippi to train mechanics there. Sent to Australia to maintain aircraft flying in the Pacific theater and in May 1946, returned to New York to marry my mother. Rejoined KLM, was transferred to Anchorage, then Tokyo where he retired. I know this has absolutely nothing to do with this camel stool but since he didn’t live in Holland from 1934 on, I wonder why and how get got one of these stools. I wonder why they were so popular with the Dutch? We had such history with Indonesia but Egypt? Hmmmm... Just wondering.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
