Brinckerinckstraat, Den Haag (streetsign).
Dr. Moutonschool, Coornhertstraat, Den Haag.
This was my elementary school (1962-68).
In the 1990's it was torn down to
make place for a new building.
In the background is a similar wooden
building, which was the MULO-school across the street
from where we lived
(next photo). The girl on the right is my sister.

Zwembad Zuiderpark, Den Haag (April 1965).

is where I spent most of my days in Summer

I've worked here for about half a year (in 1986) on the completion of my

the building looked different then (this pic is post-1996).
Most graduate students had their desk in wooden barracks out on the parking
lot though...
