      When his father emigrated, Piet ran the Rabur bicycle factory on Laan van Meerdervoort 321 in den Haag in his stead. Times were very rough after the war. In May of 1952 the company was advertised in Elsevier Weekblad: For takeover offered in the west of the country wholesaler in bicycles, bicycle parts and accessories, with excellent own brand: also large and well-maintained residential house available. was bought up by Empo (b icycle factory) in Vorden. family with first five children emigrated to Canada May 13th 1952 by KLM.

      In June 1952 Peter was repairing fences in Broadview, Saskatchewan and in July he repaired bicycles in Regina. Then the family moved to Moose Jaw.
      In Sep 1952 Peter worked at Moose Jaw Hardware repairing small appliances, such as toasters and radios. He was still at this job when the family moved to look after the farm of Ross Thatcher with 35 head of cattle and build more fences. In the spring of 1953 the family moved to the farm of Earl McCartney, to look after his wheat farm with pigs and chickens. Built an outhouse there, and saw the first tornado.
      In Aug 1953 Peter quit his job at MJ Hardware and moved to Tuxford. He commuted for a while, then found job with CPR as a brake-man and moved to Moose Jaw, where they lived on Coteau Street. There was not enough work at CPR, so Peter found work at the Co-op killing turkeys for Christmas.
      The family moved to 444 Grandview.
      In the Henderson's Moose Jaw directory - 1956 Peter is registered as employed at Grand Valley Press, where he was a photo engraver, and aslo worked the night shift at a drive in.
