File consists of an interview with Jan van den Bosch interviewed by Peter Naus in the Netherlands. van den Bosch is an entrepreneur living in the Netherlands. The interview is transcribed and available electronically and in hard copy. All of the transcriptions and recordings are in Dutch. Brief English notes from the interviewer are available in the file. They include: "Jan is an entrepreneur who owns businesses in Holland as well as in the US. He used to work for a Dutch evangelical TV station and in this capacity he made several TV programs about Henri. In fact, Henri got his heart attack on the eve of a trip to St. Petersburg were he was to go with Jan to make a TV program featuring Rembrandt's painting of the Prodigal Son that figured so prominently in Henri's book 'The Return of the Prodigal Son'. It is rather remarkable that Jan, who comes from an ultraconservative, Protestant background, ever got interested in Henri's work, let alone became a close friend of him. Just like Ron van den Bosch, he reminded me sometimes of Henri because of the way he talked and gestured. Jan did not feel comfortable talking about Henri's homosexuality; I'm surprised he even mentioned it. Overall however, he was very cooperative and eager to give his impressions of Henri".
