Ĵurnalisto Carolyn Webb verkis interesan artikolon en la melburna gazeto The Age, pri Marcel Leereveld, kiu 104-jariĝos sabaton, la 4an de decembro.
Jen du eltriaĵoj:
He writes weekly articles, on computer, for an Esperanto magazine. He is an opera fan and a keen gardener.
He was born in Amsterdam in 1917, and Esperanto has been a passion since 1934, when his grandfather, who believed it would be better for world peace if everyone spoke the same language, ordered him to tune in to radio lessons for the invented language.
Mr Leereveld says helping his family and the Esperanto community help keep him going.
