Uff Da!
Somewhere in Norway I have distant cousins but I'm not certain where. My late great Aunt, my late grandfathers sister, was the Norwegian vice-consul in Duluth, Minnesota and was the King of Norway's tour guide when he visited Duluth many years ago.
My grandfather started working for Railway Express in Duluth when he was 12, he started out working in the stables tending the horses and moved up the ladder until he became the REA agent in Rochester, MN. in the late 1930's, a position he held until he retired in the early 1960's just a few years before REA went under.
