KROON was a foreign correspondent for almost 60 years. Born in The Hague, Netherlands in 1924 and a Swiss resident since 1953, his career began in pre-Independence Indonesia as a correspondent with Associated Press. After returning to Europe, he worked mostly for Time–Life, but also for the International Herald Tribune and Dutch and Canadian radio. His linguistic talents (he is fluent in five languages) and convenient Dutch passport got him assigned to hotspots where American correspondents had no access.
He worked with the Netherlands Press Association and as a lecturer in current affairs on cruise ships well into his eighties. As he said himself, “I’m too old to quit and too young to stop.”view less
