Harry!

My Life:

I was born on 24 December 1962 in the hospital of Dirksland which is a small village on the island Goeree-Overflakkee in the Netherlands. My mother expected me two weeks earlier but they had to come and get me because I wanted to wait for Christmas. I was raised in a very small village called Zuidzijde (link points to information in Dutch) which is also on the island Goeree-Overflakkee. I have one brother called Richard. In July 1986 I graduated  from the Rijswijk Institute of Technology where I also got my first job. In June 1987 I married to Marie-Louise van Vugt and we moved to Oude-Tonge (also on Goeree-Overflakkee). In 1990 my first daughter Anne was born followed by my two sons Theo in 1992 and Koen in 1993. My second daughter Linda was born in 1996. In 2010 I graduated from the Delft University of Technology. In May 2015 I started working at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. In 2020 I became a grandfather and in 2022 my second grandchild was born.

The Genealogy of my Family:

The genealogy of the Broeders family can be found here. I'm number 75. My mother's maiden name is "van Dravik". A part of the genealogy of this family can be found here. I'm number 60.

My Hobbies:

Sorry no time to fill this in,

  • I have work to do ...
  • books to read ...
  • and two grandchildren to spoil ...
  • I also like card games. E.g. hearts (called hartenjagen in Dutch). Here is a picture. In the past I used to play chess with one of the kids (Theo) but since I can't defeat him anymore I quit that game ;-) Here are some pictures.
  • and in the summer I have to go bilking and hiking and visit the beach.

My Studies:

In 1982 I graduated from "MTS Zuid" in Rotterdam (some sort of vocational education). You can see my grades here. Modesty was never one of my virtues ;-)

In 1986 I got my Bachelor's degree (cum laude) from "r.-k. HTS Rijswijk". You can see my grades here.

In 2007 I went back to school and started a Master's of Science study Embedded Systems at Delft University. I'm very grateful to my employer for giving me this opportunity and 2 days for studying each week. In December 2010 I graduated (cum laude). You can see my grades here. Here are some products from my study:

By the way, my wife is selling environment friendly cleaning equipment called Ha-Ra. You can clean with a Ha-Ra cloth and only water so you don't need any chemicals any more! Unbelievable but true. If you want more information please send an e-mail to Marie-Louise at marie-louise@hc11.demon.nl.
