"May Peace Prevail On Earth"
by Bev Brink

Kalamazoo, MI

This phrase on a kiosk in "church square" is written in six languages. Since this is a college/university city, one might suppose that these are representative languages from the student population.

Hi Bev,
I'm from the Netherlands and I live in a village named Bloemendaal (20 KM from Amsterdam).
The translation of te text is the same as the title of your picture.
See the Amsterdam pictures on the third page.

Hi Robert. Yes I am Dutch & my maiden name was Nordyke, meaning north dyke. My understanding is that many Dutch surnames described either an occupation or a place of residence. I recognized the language, but could not have translated it. Holland the country or the city of Holland, Michigan? Bev

Bev, The text on the left side is dutch. Your last name sounds dutch. Is this a coincidence? Robert from Holland.
