He recalled how they filled up an entire suitcase, and earlier efforts to organize and collate the letters led him to complete submission in accepting the messy pile we witness here as a sheer&nbsp;expression of love. Pander shares, &#8216;They are an amazing character study of my young parents, my father living in Haarlem as a graphic designer and my mother the youngest daughter of the blacksmith in Garijp.
