The Bridge
Those of us who grew up in the Danish-American
colonies of the 30' s and 40' s experienced a life that has

ship. It was clear we were in a kind of channel. Another
passenger said it was a Norwegian fjord. How he could
tell, I didn't know, because it was pretty dark out there.
But one thing, was very clear. The captain of our ship, for
all his golden buttons and stripes, must have got lost

could have done better. I stood there in the dark and
