my Name is Lars Hoogeveen and those who have read this board will know my name.
Thank you all for your sympathy of Martin's death. It was a very big shock for us all.
I want to tell you what i know that happens:
Martin and ond one of his best friends Thomas went for a 4weeks holiday in California/USA. They rent one of those very big cars (one of GeneralMotors, don't know the right name). They started from LA, visitet several National Parks. They have seen LasVegas in the 3. week. They left this great town on Sunday the 17.September 2000. Martin just got a phone call to his mother. They have been on the way to SanFrancisco. And then early in the morning, they have been on a 4-way highway and there was nobody(if you belive the police!?). Nobody knows what happend then. The car was found bournd out with both of them inside.
It tooks about 5 weeks to get them back to Germany. We burried them both at late Oktober in their hometown Bremerhaven.
Thats where i now them from, Martin and Thomas. We have worked together in the same company. I left Bremerhaven to study now in Braunschweig. Well, and Dieter Hoogeveen is my uncle.
I don't fake this story, but I wish it would be a fake.
It is great, that there are some of you, who want to keep the site www.oceangirl.org alive. i'd like to open a discussion of what should happen to this site. Should it stay as it was (in memory to Martin)? Or should it go on to tell the story of OG (I think it was a official supported page, wasn't it?)? I don't now if the page is still on the server it was, cause i don't get any respose from the provider. So maybe anybody can help me/us in that way.
Thanks to all who send me regards. I will give them to the parents.
If you want me to say somthing to the parents, please eMail me:

With this board, all the regards, the page from Tim Brouwers and all the things that will reach me the next days you all help the parents going over christmas.
Thank you all
Lars Hoogeveen
