Notes about Jan Wit
Ter gelegenheid van de vijftigste verjaardag van Jan Wit schreven een aantal goede vrienden voor hem een "Witboek voor een vijftiger". Een van de medewerkers Ted Logeman, schreef er een aantal limmericks in:
Nadat op een bruiloft te Rhenen, Jan Wit aan de dis was verschenen
Heeft niemand der gasten meer toe kunnen tasten
Hij gaat niet graag lediglijk henen.
Ik ben, sprak een koster te Ede, overtuigd van de kracht der gebeden,
Vooral van Jan Wit, Wanneer die man bidt
Dan komt hier de kalk naar beneden.
Jan Wit (226-VIII) werd blind geboren, maar gezien zijn werk was dit geen probleem.
