A Little Story With A Big Surprise!
There are a lot of stories from Maastricht this year and I can't wait to read them!
I just wanted to share this short one with you ...
On Thursday our first day there, some of us walked up a little cobble stone street and around the church where Frank Steijns was giving a concert on the carrilon of the St Servaas at The Vrijthof.
As a few of us were heading back into the Vrijthof area by way of a small deserted back street, we came around a corner and who did we bump into but ~ Andre himself!!! Ruth (Morgan) said "Hi Andre!!"~ He looked at her and with a Big Smile AND Wink, waved and said "Hi" back to her. I don't think I need to tell you how happy Ruth was that evening!! He smiled at us all as he walked past, then got into his Mercedes and drove away.
It happend so fast and although we all had our camera's, the only one that was quick enough to react and take a picture was Jeanne Marie ~ "Merci" Jeanne Marie!!! ~ And Thank You Chris and Siggy for sending the picture:)
Wow, you were lucky!!!! I wished it once happened to me!

Same thing happened when he came out to catch his bus, after a concert here in Melbourne....I said "Oh! There's Andre!" and he replied with an "Oh! Hi!", and a smile, then asked the driver, "Is that my bus?", hopped on, and waved to us a couple of times. Mirusia then came out and straight over to talk to us for a few minutes! A lovely end to a perfect night! Chris Mellor
