My Father with his Grandson

Two generations of Johannes Theodorus Furstner, my Dad and my son Jeroen, at Martinshof August 1970.
At birth Jeroen was found to have a slightly skewed hip. For the first 6 months of his life he was therefore placed in a special frame (just visible on his upper right leg). This completely corrected the problem. The condition was picked up by a nurse in Kalgoorlie and treated by doctors in Perth. Specialists in Holland were most impressed by the prompt Australian diagnosis and the 100% effective treatment.
