Daar zijn niet vele Vlamingen in *******. Vroeger jaren waren er nog veel in Detroit, MI en oudere 'boeren' in Canada en in the staten van Iowa, Illinois, Ohio en Indiana.
In 1951 werkte ik voor de "Gazette van Detroit", de eenige Belgse kourant in *******, als een drukker.
As Dutch is not the 'lingua franca' of Bike Forum . . . agreed there are Flemish people all over the globe. Met one in Seoul, during the Korean war, he worked for the Red Cross; and some Belgian Paras who tought an American could not understand them! In Osan, created a bit of a stir with members of the 2nd SoutAf Fighter Squadron when I was able to speak SuidAfrikaans . . . . they even made me an honorary squadron member!
So while Dutch/Flemish is not a major language, it does come in handy at times!

Rudy and Kay/Zona tandem
