Theos-Talk Archives (November 2009 Message tt00191)

I don't know who S.T. Adelante is. 

I can tell you that Jan Kind is married to Terezinha. She took his name on their marriage, even though she is quite a professional and older than I am. He is Dutch. She is Brazilian. They married only a few years ago. I would guess 8 or 9 years ago.
