A greeting from Norway!

Dear Morris family!

 

In 1984, I had the pleasure of spending some time and to get to know both your mom, Inge, Nicky and Tim! I lived downstairs in one of the rooms for some weeks, had the best service a young man could dream of and still remember Tim frequently offering a beer when coming home and we sat down for a chat (Black Label it was…and I am still a devoted beer lover;))

My name is Petter Lindqvist – you may still remember me, I went back to Norway to get on with my military education – which I also did. Today I serve as a colonel in the Norwegian Armed Forces, have a family with three beautiful daughters and a wife who have followed my on a number of job deployments to the Middle East, the Netherlands and Northern Norway.

I still recall the hospitality of your family, and never really got to tell you how much I appreciated the way you treated me as a family member.

My daughter Vilde is now on her journey to SA – first to stay as a volunteer in the Letsatsi La Africa Predator Park, just east of Klerksdorp. She will also visit Cape Town, travelling with a friend and staying in Cape Royale Luxury Hotel and Spa from 25 jan to 31 jan. Had I known you are still in the accommodation branch, I would have let them look here, but they wanted to find out things on their own, just the way I did many years ago:)

I noted that Mrs Morris has had a tough time – but do hope she is recovering. Please pass my best and warm wishes to the family!  – and if you have any advice for to young Norwegian ladies discovering the Cape surroundings, I know that both the parents back home and the girls too will probably appreciate it, especially knowing there are people down there who took so well care of that Norwegian way back in 1984!

 

Sincerely;
