HI lennart
So good that the E-mail was yours, I was afraid that it was Bill  when I saw that  I had 4 !!   Nerves are overworked !  Slept till  4 3/4   then went to Church    But the pain in my back got so bad that I left before  the guest  Preacher  spoke
GOOD to be home and it is quiet  in the house, Just watching  sailboats  and a few ships
Beautiful weather  About 75  ,I think
Farfar built  2  houses in  Tsingtao and Iltis huk     We never  lived in the Tsingtao  one ( I think that he rented it out and intended to retire there (but that was not what Farmor thought)Lalli  knows that address
In the Iltis Huk one we all crammed in during the summer
Room 1   Farmor  and Farfar
Room 2    momo + Oscar + Roy and Dodo  +++++ musquitos
Room 3  Egron Gerda Lalli  and Johnny ( Margie was not born yet)
In back of our house there was  an INTERDENOMINATIOMAL church  Everyones went there
On the other side of the road there was a wheat   field  and  next to it was a boxie white Hotel ( I never was in it ) Then a street  with a few houses on, Did not know them
Below our Yard was a street  and a older Farther and son  (Frensh) lived there . There name were Gensburger   German Jews
Below them on our street  was the Swedish  Postmaster General    The Nordstroms    their sons were Erik and ULF      I dated Ulf a few times just on walks  ,I think,  he was nice Tall blondish with curly hair
Then when the war was over  he became ill and was a Patient  in the US  Navy  Hosp.  One mornong when  I was on duty, as a student  nurse , we got a call from the Navy and they needed  to  transfer him to our  hospital , so I got  his room ready for him
Then an other call came through from the Navy Hospital ------------ and he had died !
Ug what a day !  I knew he had Pneumonia  but he   must of had TB too .  I never knew the  diagnosis
LIFE is not fun
LOVE you mamma
