“GOOD NEWS” (for a change) – by Des Kelly
Thank you very much, Charles Schokman, for this most interesting collection of ‘Good-News’ stories. It is certainly high time we are blessed with stories such as these, because, as we all know, the news we do get, happens to be 90% BAD. So, for a while, my good readers of e’Lanka, let us forget about Wars, Missile launches, Rocket-men etcetera, and watch something that instils a little happiness and hope into our lives.

Dutch Burgher Union – Some good news
DBU, which you must have visited when you were in SL has been refurbished and upgraded now. Refurbishing started in 2012 by Mr. T. Speldewinde who was the president of DBU. It’s a beautiful place now with comfortable rooms and two good restaurants. I have attached a few photos for you to see. Also have forwarded a link [ video ] to Fiona about the history of DBU.
There had been a Dr. V.R. Schokman who was the President of DBU in 1940’s , I have attached a picture of him too.
Was he a relation of yours ?
The room rates are between 40 – 60 $ per day.
