Laurs Christian Laursen, Betty Laursen Miller Jan 1987

Laurs Christian Laursen, Betty Laursen Miller

The Bridge

When my younger brother and I were little, our mother often sang to us, and soon our voices would be joining in with "Venter Paa Far"--Waiting for Father.

The Bridge

"Where was Chris?; Why didn't he hurry?" He knew Greta was to be the overseer of the dinner. It was Midsummer's Day; she had to be in Linden by nine o'clock to organize the work in the kitchen.
