Het bankje bevat een plaquette met daarop de naam W. Th. de Vries, geboren 24 maart 1937 en gestorven 20 februari 2005. Ik heb niks over deze meneer gevonden, of waarom zijn naam dit bankje siert. Wel staat er nog een mooie quote op het bankje; "Als dit bos een geheugen had, zou het zich geluk herinneren." Waarschijnlijk kwam de heer de Vries hier graag in het bos.

The bench contains a plaque with the name W. Th. de Vries, born March 24, 1937 and died February 20, 2005. I have not found anything about this gentleman, or why his name adorns this bench. There is, however, a nice quote on the bench; "If this forest had a memory, it would remember happiness." Mr. de Vries probably liked to come here in the woods.
