Barend Bergstroem, 55, told the United Press he is planning to settle at North Haledon, N.J. (203 Belmond Av.), together with his wife and twin children, Barend and Jane, who are 17. An older daughter is living in Watertown, South Dakota, with her American husband.
"My wife can't get over the departure of her daughter, who left three years ago, and since the twins wanted to leave for the States, too, I reckoned it might be better for all of us if we left in a bunch, Bergstroem, "I am afraid the players greying hair and blue eyes, said. a lean, soft-spoken man, with the MCC 'A' tour of Pakistan (and many of the home players)
