I, Larry Jensen apologize for postponing our actual First meeting last month in September due to my extended stay in TMC Hospital. I thank everyone for your well wishes, thoughts and prayers. We will follow up at another date with our postponed Nordic Fest Decorah meeting.
The stay in the hospital gave me time to think of all my blessings, and I include all of you and our club among my fondest blessings. Tusen Takk to all of you.
Moving on… This 17 October our New Vice President Ken will help us learn and entertain us about those funny creatures we see running around our cactus and racing with the roadrunners.
A word about TROLLS,
Trolls began in Norse mythology, then all of Scandinavia. Their primary existence came from parents trying the “scare” their children into certain behaviors. Eventually trolls grew in stature from ugly giants (jotnars) in Sweden to equally nasty looking creatures (huldrefolk) in Norse. They were hostile creatures that turned to stone in the sunlight, so lived in caves, forests and dark shadows. Oral stories were told how they could interfere with events in daily life, so the mythology became folklore. To this day you can find many statue samples of Trolls from Oslo to Reykjavik.
We will discuss Trolls from Norway to Sweden to Iceland. We will have some actual Trolls from, Norway, but they will be caged for safety.
Presentation will include PowerPoint.
