<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jennifer Plesman Jackson, post: 602644, member: 10711&quot;]I don’t think I knew he was Marron but my sister definitely did.&nbsp; What is so interesting is that from 1983 to 1987, my sister wrote letters to my mom (Dad had already passed). Mom kept them and now I have them. Diana wrote a lot about the conditions there during that period and the shortages of toilet paper, coffee, petrol, etc. Diana and I were born in New York but mom and dad usually spoke Dutch at home so we understood “conversational” Dutch. When Diana moved there, she learned to read and write it very well whereas I am a slug.&nbsp; Lol. Some day, I may compile what she wrote on the politics of that time as related to the residents there.&nbsp; I have a long, long list of “to dos”.&nbsp; And, YES, I will never let it go. I knew it was something pretty special (I love this stool) but I didn’t know it was from Suriname... I am so stinkin’ excited that I found this forum and so grateful for everyone here who has commented.&nbsp; I have some swords I am going to post as well. But I think they are from Java or thereabouts.&nbsp; Have no clue on those either but I’m sure someone here does!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
