Pieter was an instructor for guerrilla fighting for the Indonesian Army for one year; then he and all Dutch citizens were expelled from Indonesia, so Pieter and his family spent 3% years in Holland. In 1961 the Fredzess family emigrated to the United States. Pieter's first job in this country was as a window cleaner at the Kaiser building in Oakland, then he came to H. I.
