In passing, he reminded the readers that Leopold JAMES, did not belong in that group, because he was a ‘half intellectual' according to the driftwood-artist.
For the record, let the people know, that the unpaid adviser and failed teacher still is traumatized by the fact that drs. Leopold JAMES when he was director of the HAVO & VWO was the boss of the clown, who never managed to even get a decent university degree in his own land.
Many of his own peers and even some of his former colleagues and subject-teachers, did not think very highly of this ‘wannabe everything but his true self'.
Cleaning up my office yesterday, I stumbled on a postcard sent to me by one of his former colleagues at the M.P.C., drs. P. VLEESCH-DUBOIS, dated January 2, 1989, after he had returned to St. Maarten for a vacation.
Although this gentleman was not exactly a friend of mine, when he worked at the Milton Peters College under my management, in fact wrote the following on this particular postcard;
Mr JAMES, we were disappointed that we did not meet with you while on vacation to St. Maarten.
Whom we DID meet was, Gerard BIJNSDORP during the congress about the future of the Dutch language, which was held at the Great Bay Hotel.
What a pity that Gerard does not get enough of it (teaching at the MPC), because there is a need for new blood among the teachers Dutch.
