Chiel van Veen worked as a cameraman with Piet Paulusma for over ten years. His death came as a shock. ‘He was a craftsman, who brought the weather from the studio outside’
From 1996 Piet Paulusma made a weather forecast for Hart van Nederland, which quickly became very popular. Always outside, every night in a different location. In the summer often at well-attended events, although those events became increasingly crowded over time, precisely because people knew that ‘Piet’ was coming.
To swallow
The media company Pro-Time from Groningen played Piet’s Weerbericht very often, Chiel van Veen was one of the regular cameramen who regularly went out with the Frisian. Van Veen had to swallow a few times when he heard the news on Sunday.
