TIP: How to easily remove GREASE Stains

We all get stains and often panic, like my grease stains in my morning robe when I was sliding by the bike rack inside the garage...

Yep, the simple solution is to put Vaseline - Petroleum Jelly Cream right on top of the grease stains.

Apply generously and than throw it in the washing machine for regular washing.
Regular Vaseline works perfect! This is what I could find at the time...

Clean as NEW! 

THAT EASY...

Husband Pieter Speaks at MGA Conference, Bournemouth - England

On Thursday, October 14 of 1976, husband Pieter lectured at the Mushroom Growers Association's Conference at the Royal Bath Hotel in Bournemouth in South England, a resort area and World Heritage Site.

Pieter's lecture has been published in The Mushroom Journal May 1977 now being uploaded by the ISMS

Pieter received this card from Saviour Gauci, via his Dutch Rotary friend Loek Nelissen and his wife, who met him while on vacation in Malta...

That was already several years after the MGA Conference, but it shows that people know Pieter J.C. Vedder the world over! This was after Pieter got his prestigious Sinden Award but more about that later...
Translated from Dutch:
Congratulations with 'The Award!" Terrific! Well earned!
Since you were not at Rotary, herewith proof that we met your friend in Malta.

How sociable it was we will tell you. Greetings, Loek

We both hope that Saviour Gauci's mushroom business is doing well in Malta!

Husband Pieter visiting Mushrooms in the Cave - Bradford-on-Avon in England

For husband Pieter it sure was not the first time to visit a mushroom farm inside the caves, as he would be doing in South-West England.
Pieter did sleep and stay at the home of the manager. Originally in this area were flax growers.

Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire.
Once the stone that built Bath was found in this mine, now it is used for growing mushrooms.
Various shots of women wearing miner's helmets. The women walk in the entrance to the mine carrying buckets, lead by team leader Dolly Laywood. Inside, the women pick the mushrooms growing in stacks of trays and place them in baskets. C/U of mushrooms. M/S of cave roof. C/U of candle stick attached to the cave wall.
These Marl Caves consisted of soft stone, that was sawn out for building cities!

Photos with the beds on the ground must be from before WWII era as they were growing already inside wooden trays by the time husband Pieter visited them.
