Figure 1.--The Belgian children here are siblings Pierrot and Mimie Gallez in 1947. They were living in the Belian Congo. You can see their school in the background. Pierrot was a first grader and presumably about 6 years old. For some reason only Pierrot has a book satchel. The small sweater the boy is wearing is a gilet. Apparently it was a little cool in the morning. Probably they lived somewhere in the eastern highlands.

Some HBC readers tell us that they would like to be able to access new pages, but do not want to receive E-mails on every new page added to HBC. We have also for several years now experienced problems dealing with AOL. Thus we have created this page for HBC readers. We will list new pages or existing pages to which we have added additional information. We used to maintain a page like this. We know from this experience that we sometimes forget to add a new page, but we will try to remember to do this as much as possible. There will not be a link on our home page so you will want to add this to your favorites/book marks. We plan to only make this page available to readers who support HBC. There may be occasional changes in the URL. Just let us know if you have any question about this HBC feature.
