| 20298 | North Tonawanda NY Evening News - 2/23/1956 "Boy, we like it here. . ." That remark by Walter Van der Beend might well have been said by his brother, Jan. Why? Because Walter and Jan both like it here. And they look so much alike, a NEWS reporter isn't sure whether Walter or Jan said it. The Van der Beends are twins. Two months ago they arrived in The U. S. from Holland, where they were born 18 years ago-five minutes apart* Double Takes ° Since then, people have been doing double takes trying to determine just who walked onto the scene, Jan or Walter. And speaking of scenes, Jan and Walter are fast becoming a part of the American scene. They're the sons of Mr. and Mrs. John Streck, 364 Summit Blvd., North Tonawanda. Jan already has a job at the J & E Superette, Payne Ave. and Tremont St. Walter is employed by Rojek's Dairy, 12th Ave. Both attend a language class three nights a week at North Tonawanda High School. What Youth Doesn't? Jan said he wants to buy a car as soon as possible. Now that's a goal of every American youth. Mr. Streck said he met his wife, the former Petroneila Van der Beend, while h? was stationed with the U. S. Army in Holland, about three miles from the German Border. They married after Petroneila arrived here in 1947. . Jan and Walter came to this country from Schaesberg, Holland. Their arrival was a real family reunion. With them was an aunt, Miss Tonia Hissink of Herrlin, Holland. She's making her home in North Tonawanda, too. Sisters in U.S. The Dutch twins also have two sisters who have been living in the U. S. for the last eight years. They are Mrs. Glenn (Petroneila) Weyers, 50 E. .Stenzil St., and Mrs. Tonia Luberacki who lives in Detroit. Another uncle and aunt also live in North Tonawanda. They are Arie and Grada Kooy. Anyway, it shouldn't take the twins long to adjust to the American way of life. New York State originally was settled by the Dutch. The friendly Van der Beend youths are merely adding to the movement.
