        RI-126Ri  'Koos Nolst Trenite - identity'


from Ambassador for Mankind


Message # RI-126Ri for Internet

[References updated only]



'Koos' is the first name.
 This name is Dutch.

Those who do not speak the Dutch language,
 and that is most people,
 pronounce the name, Koos, as 'CAUSE',
 especially in the Anglo-Saxon language areas.
  (Some in Germany pronounced it Coss,
   some in England have pronounced it also Coz.)


'Nolst Trenite' is the family name, consisting of two words.

Trenite has a french sharp accent on the last 'e'.

In Anglo-saxon areas, people refer to me as 'Mr. Trinity',
 which is the best English rendering of
 the originally French 'Trenite'
  with a sharp accent on the last 'e'.
  If by my first name, they refer to me as 'Cause'.

There is nowadays a well-known, international
 lawyer's office in Rotterdam, Holland,
 by the name of Nolst Trenite.




Some people are interested in the history of names,
 so here you go.


The coat of arms of Nolst Trenite
 consists of the combination of the 'Nolst' coat of arms,
 and the 'Trenite' coat of arms.

For 'Nolst', we have a blue field
 with three closed golden beakers.
 (17th Century, Netherlands).

For 'Trenite', we have a blue field with a silver dove,
 holding a golden crown in its beak,
 and flying from the left high to the right low,
 flying above a silver mountain with five peaks.
 (17th Century, France,
  originally Trinite, changed to Trenite,
  to indicate change from Catholic
  to Protestant faith (Hugenots).)


The coat of arms of Nolst Trenite
 has in quadrant I and IV the 'Trenite',
 in quadrant II and III the 'Nolst' coat of arms.
 (19th Century, Netherlands.)

On top of the coat of arms, on the helmet,
 you see a silver dove holding a crown in its break.

This is kind of a seal
 on my letterhead - it is legally protected -
 and shows with some certainty
 that the letter is coming from me,
 when it is signed with Koos Nolst Trenite.

(You can see a picture of it
  on World Wide Web Page "http://ArtOrg.com".)



That's the name part of the identity.

Then there's my body, male, white, dark fair hair,
 age changing each year between 20 and 21.

Before my birthday it shifts to 20.
 On my birthday it becomes 21.
 This is agreed upon with my children.

In exchange, I also try to treat them as adults
 as much as I can.


The shape of the face and the body
 would probably remind you quite a bit of
 the actor Tom Hanks - whose portrait is quite well known,
  which is why I mention it.

I think Tom Hanks is a nice guy,
 and I also think I am a nice guy,
 so there are already quite some similarities.


My special interests:

I like people, I like people who are themselves,
 I like people who are striving to be themselves,
 who help others to be more themselves.

I like beautiful things,
I like most forms of art.

The type of sport I like most is sailing,
 not as a competition though,
 but for the contact with the elements
 and the social contact that goes with the sport.
 That's the pleasure I derive from sailing.



This is for people who 'want to know who I am'.

Actually, I am ME.
