About Me
Hello brothers and sisters in arms. My name is Peter Bakker and I live in the Netherlands in a small village near Amsterdam. I am married for 30 years with Geertje and have a son of 25 and a daughter of 23 years old. I am an engineer at a powercompany. I also was a teacher in the evening and my hobby was playing guitar and singing in a 70's-80's rock coverband. I was diagnosed ALS on the 24th of october 2007. I am still working and I am intending to do so as long as I can. I stopped playing the guitar because my hands refuse to do what I want them to do.
