Drieling, Paul, Joop and Gon (85), still has the greatest fun: ‘I would redo all life’

They don’t know for sure, but Paul, Joop and Gon van Buchem have the strong suspicion that they are the oldest living triplets in the Netherlands. In the cold winter of 1940 they were born in Driehuis, to the great surprise of their parents who already had four children at that time. “They were already happy later that they did not live in Achtienhoven,” Joop jokes. Now, 85 years later, the brothers and their sister still have the greatest fun together.
