Building up "Dante's Inferno" in Fort Asperen, I had a lot of help from Hasje Boeyen. One night we went to some guy living in the Dutch hinterland and left there late at night. Hasje drove his van backwards over a stretch of dike while I followed straight ahead. All of a sudden, very calm and slowly Hasje's van steered of the dike and tumbled sideways. It took two heavy tractors to pull out the van the next day. Hasje died a couple of years ago, just like that.
