Hello Pip.
I first met you in Romford in 1988, I think. I was in Ten Sing Norway and we had concerts and workshops at the YMCA. Later that same year you offered one of us to stay at Romford as a volunteer. I was tempted to work at Romford, but at the same time scared. East London was something very different and big. I still remember the tall concert building where Romford YMCA stayed. I chickend? out and took one year as volunteer at Kingston YMCA in Surbiton instead. I have often regretted that decision. I see know that it would have been much more interesting staying at Romford. In some way I feel need to apology.

I have just learned about your blog and the chapter from “Gutter feelings” was some of the first I read. It touched me. It made me remember some of the feelings I had at our very short stay at Romford.

After my stay at Kingston I moved back to Oslo and educated me to be a policeman. I’m married to Kjersti from Voss who also was in Ten Sing Norway. We have 4 kids from 9 to 2. After 7 years in Hammerfest, north of Norway, we moved to Voss. I’m now working as secretary at Voss KFUK-KFUM (YMCA). We do Ten Sing, a kids club, 50+meetings, a kind of kindergarden, scouts + + + +

Bay the way; I saw you and your caps at the U2 concert in Oslo in July. I trayed to get in contact with you, but you disappeared in the crowd.

Pip; you’re a beautiful human person.

Thanx Havard - wondrous encouragement and I need it always ........
