Tot groot verdriet van Melanie eindigde haar laatste zwangerschap onlangs in een miskraam. In haar omgeving vindt ze maar weinig begrip.

Een vakantie op Kaapverdië viel voor Bart Verhees en zijn vriendin Melanie al op de tweede dag in het water. Het Brabantse stel werd ernstig ziek: ze raakten besmet met de shigellabacterie. Sinds het najaar zijn elf Nederlanders eveneens besmet...

#RIP 🕊️🪦🎚️🕯️

I had occasion to look up singer 'Melanie' Safka today ('Brand New Key'), and came upon the following snapshot of the past:

'After her return to New Jersey, she transferred to Red Bank High School in Red Bank, New Jersey. She graduated in 1966, although she was prevented from attending her graduation ceremony because of an overdue library book. She was inducted into the school's hall of fame in 2014.'
