Tomorrow is your last working day, and that means that today we face each other for the last time, and that we simultaneously create and present the news. You at the Reyerslaan, me in Antwerp, ‘he says.
‘Because of our age and our career, we have often been mentioned in the same breath in recent years,’ says Dany Verstraeten. ‘I could do that for a few more years. Before you start on your news now, and I do mine, I would like to thank you for your inspiring presence all these years. Yours sincerely, you’re doing well, goodbye Martine ‘, concluded Dany Verstraeten.
