Penne
was sent off to Rotterdam on the 22nd of February, 2001. She has
gone to stay with Gerard and Angelique Peet and their two daughters
Juliette (7 at the time) and Suzanne (8 at the time).
Gerard was a member of Rotterdam City Council and Rotterdam (along
with Porto, Portugal) was 2001's Cultural Capital of Europe.
Gerard has been collecting penguin paraphernalia for more than 20
years and published the Concise Rotterdam Penguin Encyclopedia in
2003 (sold out). The book documents all types of penguins from fact
and fiction.
Penne has been resting for some years but is keen on starting out
for new adventures. Her skin is peeling of slightly, but being over
10 years old that should be no surprise. It won’t hold her
back though!
