Notable Friesians.


Peter Stuyvesant, 1612 1672. He was the last Dutch Director General of the Colony of New Nederland. (New York) Fokke Bernard 1600-1641 is based on The Flying Dutchman.The first planes in the Netherlands where called Fokker.There are a lot more and so you can see I am proud to be called a Friesian. I was born there and my maiden name goes back generations.I am also proud to be called Beppe. I had a Beppe and my children had a Beppe. First it felt strange, but now I like it.
