Tom’s granddad too. The way was not only to Norway. Others started to visit America. The bonds were knitted between family and friends. Through 100 years of Norway’s independence,And the binding of two countries. Warmed and sealed hearts which no one can sever.

I received a greeting from Per Hugo Kristensson, long-time friend of Minnekirken who recently moved back to his motherland of Sweden. He wanted to let all of his Minnekirken friends know that he’s been busy restoring gravestones and invites all of his Minnekirken friends to visit for only $950/flight. In addition, the Jupiter Chapter of IOGT (of which he is the former president) is planning a luxury cruise from Stockholm to St. Petersburg, Russia that he also extends invitations for. He has also wanted to let us know that he has contacted Norwegian House in Göteborg as members may wish to contribute funds to the beautification of Minnekirken. . Kontakt loves contact from friends and members no matter where they live! Keep em coming!
