I get by (or at least have a better chance of passing on my genetic material) with a little help from my friends. Natural selection isn’t prescient and survival of the fittest doesn’t necessarily mean survival of the strongest and fiercest.

I found scans of the original Ektachromes of several of my original Fading Ad Campaign images and have been updating the website. Here is one. The sign under Baby Ruth is for another Curtiss Candy product – Butterfinger.

Baby Ruth was developed in 1921 and named after President Grover Cleveland’s daughter, who died at the age of twelve.

Curtis’s Candy of Chicago [1921-1964] sold Baby Ruth to Standard Brands when they dissolved, then bought by Nabisco, and in 1990, the candy bar was acquired by the Nestle Food Corp.

Ad circa 1930.

Frans Broekveldt III – Adolescent in the Dam Square

Frans as a young adult.

“Rekening” from our last meal together with my mother at a local Chinese restaurant.

My maternal uncle, Frans Broekveldt III died in his sleep over the weekend in his new home in Badhoevendorp, Amsterdam. Frans was survived by his wife Dickey Broekveldt, two daughters Susan & Sonia, and his grand daughter Linsey and grand son Rick and his only sister Willy Broekveldt-Jump. Condolences may be sent to the family Broekveldt – Azaleastraat 38, 1171WV, Badhoevendorp, Amsterdam, NL and Willy Jump, 1445 Geneva Loop 17E, Brooklyn NY 11239.

I’ll always remember him listening to his Ben E. King albums up in the attic bedroom on the Geuzenstraat. On occasion he would read to me from his thick oversized book about evolution or rail against the evil imperialist and racist America. He loved his motorcycle when he was riding it. He cherished his grandchildren and family.
