One of Cor’famous quote to a visitor:
“Your shit is our bread and butter”.

Cor, ik hoop dat je een hele leuke dag zult hebben en in de toekomst weer wat inbreng op humoristisch vlak zal kunnen hebben, ik mis het.
Misschien kan je de serie met cartoon die je ooit eens rond hebt gestuurd (van Smitha?) over een roeiwedstrijd met teams uit Japan en Nederland.
Helaas heb ik dat niet bewaard maar wel heb ik veel kunnen aandragen van al je geweldige bijdragen in Sinterklaasgedichten, Annual Plan etc.

Cor-dination:
Cor is Cynical, Cor is Organised, Cor is Ruthless (at ping pong), Cor is Dedicated, Cor is Inventive, Cor doesn’t like the Establishment, Cor loves Table tennis, Cor has sometimes Very long hair, Cor doesn’t speak Out loud, Cor is Resourceful, Cor is the Source, Cor works on Transparency (and a lot of other things).
Cor Dietvorst is way more than 12 letters, 25 years and 5000 issues of Source. Cor is our answer to Google and to CCTV for Cor has a relentless radar for news and views, for fun and puns, for ping pong balls and proposal calls, for unheard voices and a lot more.
25 years man, that’s hardcore!
All I can say is we want more, of Kiwi-Dutch sense of humour and all those great traits of you, Cor…

Scheveningen, in the – was it the basement? One pingpong table, 5 players: Rob Winkel, Michel, Nigel, myself sometimes and you.
Poor, poor Nigel – he was your team mate. Every time he missed a ball, he would apologise and say, “Sorry”, eyes downcast. You just looked at him. If looks could kill… To say you were dedicated to playing table tennis would be an understatement. You were obsessed. If you didn’t win, you would be in a bad mood all day. Who would have thought…
I haven’t had the pleasure of playing against you for a long time, and I’m not even sure whether you play daily still. But I’m sure you’ve further improved your skills. And you were so good back then even!
Cor, congratulations with 25 years IRC!

Cor, Lia, Shobha, Henk, Jan Jaap, Corine, Carmen, Erik, Ellen, Nigel, Diane, Marijke, Maarten, Ingeborg, Gina, Bettie. Information professionals, students, conscientious objectors, volunteers. Do you still remember the two or three who’s name I forgot. IRC library and documentation unit has been (wo)manned by all kinds of people. Cor has been the prop and stay of the team for all these 25 years. Congratulations and thanks for the 20 odd years of being the best of colleagues.

Van Cor snap ik vaak geen lor, maar dat komt meer door mijn oren (in English: often I don’t get Cor at all, but that is more because of my ears)…
Wat zeg je?
Come again!

Hi Cor,
Having joined IRC on the same fateful day as you 25+ years ago, I feel very humbled but mostly because you beat me at ping pong today. You even joined facebook before me. Wanna play scrabble on facebook?

Thinking about Cor 25.0 …
del.ic.ious; matje; humour; soft (voice); sharp; allergic to authority; great colleague; great beer partner; flexible in planning; the MIND of IRC; irony; my view; the past; the future…
Looking forward to it
Viktor Markowski // April 20, 2008 at 2:58 pm |
Thinking of Cor immediately raised the questions ‘where to start?’ and ‘what is the essence?’
Two words come to mind: respect and gratitude.
Respect for his relentless devotion to the cause he believes in. For his dedication to making Source the number one newsletter in the W&S sector. For his unstoppable appetite to always find a better news item, which often lead to delays in sending the newsletter out, at which time I had to chase him again (which was a hopeless effort, since as Ingeborg mentioned, he followed his own agenda). Respect for his loyalty to work overtime to get the newsletter out, despite my nagging and remarks to see a barber. Respect for his integrity and for the silent force that he brought into the office, upon which I knew I could always rely in times of need.
Gratitude for having the opportunity to work with him. For his lovely dry humor. For his flexibility and loyalty.
Respect and gratitude for being the authentic person he is.

Dear Cor,
It is a pleasure and an honour writing some words to celebrate your 25th years at IRC.
25 years: a strong commitment, a love story.
During my two years at IRC, you have been a guide and a friend.
You have always shared your huge knowledge and strong experience without limit; you are a generous and a wise man with this lovely humor; young professional at IRC should feel privileged to discuss with you in order to understand IRC and its impact on the life of human being suffering from the lack of basic services.
More than professional work, I will always remember our discussion regarding rugby; your kiwi background just let you understand this beastly game played by gentlemen; To conclude, thinking of Cor means remembering our great table tennis games, it was just great and relaxing.
I hope you are still practising to avoid strong disillusion when I will travel to Delft :.)
Wishing you all the best to you and your family,
Laurent
