It is great to see Ruth’s long, warm and productive life publicly celebrated. She remains a great role model to me, her daughter-in-law.

Today I learned from Guy Verhofstadt that the original euro bank notes from 2002 featured fictional (!) bridges to avoid conflict between EU members. In 2012 the Dutch town of Spijkenisse claimed all bridges for the Netherlands by building replicas of ALL on a single waterway.
