It’s sometimes strange how things can go within our large SNIPPEN family, as I was already aware, but recently I received a message from Marleen Engel, who lives up to her name, and whom I warmly thank for her stream of information, photo contributions, and the following little story:

Her husband became the brother-in-law of a certain Mr. X, because this Mr. X married his sister. Unfortunately, as happens in the best of families, the marriage was dissolved. Our Marleen comes from a family of two children and has a sister named Mieke.

Now it just so happens that the aforementioned Mieke has set her sights on the divorced Mr. X and is marrying him. Marleen’s husband T………… is thus becoming the brother-in-law of, then not, and then again the brother-in-law of this Mr. X.
