So you're in the Puget Sound area? I used to stay in Poulsbo fairly
often. Spent some evenings at the "Sons of Norway" club there. Coslo is
a good old Norwegian name! 8^)

So howcum you missed the Norwegian independance day parade here in
Ballard? Largest one outside of Norway.


Oh, being in PA kinda limits my access. My Sons of Norway exposure was
mostly because a relative was a member. I really liked those folks
though. Garrison Keillor just about has them pegged - although the folks
I was around liked to party a bit more.

My favorite story from those days is how when I first meet a Norwegian,
they would tell you in a couple minutes if they like you or not. If they
like you, they next thing they do is buy you a drink. I eventually told
my father in law (the member) that we had to limit my meeting more
people to the weekends, or no more than 2 an evening.
