An email from our kinsman, John
Van Loon in 2013:-
"Greetings again after these last few years… Curious if you’re maintaining your ‘Curse of the Loons’ page? If so or not, am sending this file from a document I circulated last year among my family marking self attaining octogenarian status. Just a little mythical musing over the origin of the family name. For more of the same extending to our Amer. ancestor see: http://www.ancientfaces.com/story/on-developing-the-persona-or-psyche-of-jan-van-loo/401564
