Mike performs Dutch song

One year later...

Last year's team member, Mike Gerdjikian, with his incredible memory, was able to recite the funny Dutch song taught by language instructor Frank Hartvelt last year. The song had to do with two bears seen buttering their bread (broodje), and what a humorous and miraculous sight it was, etc.

(The shaky camera work was due to the photographer's emotional response to the song)

Good job Mike
