This is a photo of Krijn's family back in Volendam, circa 1947. His mom is the girl in the lower left hand corner. At that time, Volendamers wore this costume every day. His mom rebelled at age 16 and refused to wear it. Major, major family drama moment! Krijn's grandfather and grandmother (the couple in the center) wore the costume daily for their whole lives. Grandfather died in the mid 70s, Grandmother in 1994.
