Marnix OP7M
During my 2014 trip to Europe, I was fortunate enough to stay with Marnix, his wife Martine, and son Goan, near Ghent in northern Belgium. It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with them.
Below are some photos of Marnix home during winter.
Eddy ON6ZV
Also whilst in Europe, I spent quite a bit of time with Eddy ON6ZV and his wife Carine. Eddy is a police officer like me, so we had a lot in common. He is best mates with Marnix OP7M.
