"Some of Uncle Peter's relatives in Ronne whom I visited just before leaving. He is a barber. Last of July 1931."

139


Once again, a photo with no caption.

138


"Dodging the spray on the coast at Fredericia. I got my feet wet. Winter 1929."

137


"Me and a great big Hannimack. Goes just as good as any car. The barber in Hadsund wrote the name on the back. 10/7/1929."

136


"I can't understand the pose. I said "Preacher" but I certainly am not preaching very much. 1927"
Again, this one is out of sequence, but I don't know how to go back and insert it where it belongs. BL

135


"Elder Gregersen and me at the sea shore. We rode our bikes up and down the beach but soon had to stop because it was too much work. Sept. 1929."

134


Another photo without a caption. Clearly missionary times.

133


"Elder Gregersen and I started out tracting but we finished up by going fishing. We put our bike on board and rode back to Hodsund in the boat. September 1929."

132


"Out tracting on Fyn. My overshoes wore blisters on my heels. Real missionary life. winter 1929."

131


"The Rhine river. Romance lies on every bend of this river. Ruined castles, half-naked natives, and stories that thrill. Along this river was Germany's first Pres. born, and from the river bank came one of the world's most noted musicians, Beethoven. We were all day on the river. Jund 1930. Passion Play trip."

130


"Brother Pehrson and I got too much ambition one day and rowed out to his Aunt's in Brabrant. It is about a Danish mile out there. We had blisters on our hands when we got back to Aarhus. We bought some house plants for our office while we there. May 1930."

129


Again, could not find a caption that matched with this photo. Sorry.

128


"Myself and Vilo Sorensen just moping around on a Sunday. July 1931."

127


"This is one time when I had all of the ice cream that I cared for. Brother Pehrson and I bought a liter at wholesale price. May 1930 in Aarhus."

126


I could not find a caption that matched this photo, but there is clearly a problem with that rear bicycle tire.

125


"Baseball on Skov Bakken in Aalborg. The elders from Aarhus played the elders from Aalborg and Aarhus won. Fall conference in Aalborg 1929. I am playing second base."

124


"Kenneth A. Lauritzen. Taken in Denmark. I copied it from the original with my Kodak."

123


"Gutheren Jensen and Della Anderson at Valdemarsgade 2, Aalborg, Aug. 1929."

122


"Close up outline of Chicago along Michigan Blvd. June 1929."

121


"At Uncle Marion's . Dorothy took the picture. I am standing on Steve Merkle's car. Spring 1931."
This must have been just after returning home from the mission. Uncle Marion (my grandmother's brother) lived in Victor.

120


There is no caption with this photo, but I believe it is the Denmark mission president and wife plus another elder (and, of course, my father).

And there were no notes on this one, either. Just four missionaries taking a lunch break.

118


There was no caption provided with this one. Obviously a happy missionary somewhere in Denmark.

117


"The day I left Bornholm. Taken at our boarding house, Storegach 52, Ronne, Bornholm. I hated to leave and now I want to go back. August 1931. Myself, Pres. Larsen, Vilo Sorensen, Elder Neilsen."

116


"Kamma Pederson. Ryesgaden Villenome, Aalborg, Denmark."
Dad always had an eye for pretty girls.

115


"Yours truly on the S.S.Hollig Olav bound for Denmark. Twelve days out from New York. It took 15 days to make the trip. June 1929."

114


"Out in Almindingen with our English-speaking Danish storekeeper. It was circus day. June 1931."

113


"Our tandem bike. We started out tracting and Vilo Sorenson's bicycle lost a wheel so we connected up in real tandem style and came home. June 1931."

"Latter Day Saints in Bornholm. L to R: Sister Svendsen, Vilo Sorensen, Sister Anderson, K.A. Lauritzen, Brother Anderson, Sister Romer. They are all over 60 years of age. We held meetings Sunday evenings and Bible readings Thursday evening. Aug. 1931."

108


"Merrill Gregerson and me packed and ready to leave Hadsun for conference in Aalborg. 10/11/1929."

107

"Orva and Carrie. Taken while I was in Denmark."

Carrie married Uncle Delos. Orva was my father's girlfriend that he had left behind, and I hope somewhere in here I will learn her last name.

106


This one is a little out of chronological sequence. Sorry.
"On our way after timber above Sherman's. Feb. 1932. Eugene, (Chub and Jack) and myself. Snow was three feet deep on level. "

105


Donna Lauritzen on the left and Enid Lauritzen on the right. Taken June 1931 and sent to my father in Denmark.

104


"Where I first felt like throwing up my dinner with what they fed us, and where I saw my first lopper (?). IT crawled over my hand. After that we always sneaked past so that we wouldn't be asked in. Aalborg branch. July 1929."

103


"Thinking over the dull and dreary parts of life as I gaze over the ocean from the top of the fort embankment. Fredericia 1929."

102

101


I could not find any caption for this photo. BL

100


"The day I left Bornholm to come home. L to R: Henry Neilson, Pres. Larsen, vilo Sorenson, Kenneth Lauritzen. Was I blue. 1st of August 1931."

99


"Some of Uncle Peter's relatives in Ronne whom I visited just before I left. He is a barber. Last of July 1931."
I don't know who Uncle Peter is. In our genealogy Neils and Larsina had a son named Peter, but my records show that he died as a child before he was age 2.

98


"A merry group at Svendsen's pensionat. Every kind of occupation present. Circus people; brush salesmen; missionaries and what not. When we all got at the same table we made the food fly. June 1931."

97


"Me and Elder Christensen on the seashore."

96


"Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Anderson, our housekeepers in Hadsund. Fall 1929."

Another unlabeled picture. Clearly this is in Denmark.

93


"Down on the Havn in Aarhus. Kun ud for en spadsier. Broder Erickson og meg. Feb. 1930"
If you had any doubt, that is Danish. Don't know what it means.

92


Looks like an "I'm just about to leave" picture. There was no idenfication with this one.
I looked on the back of the photo and it says, "Horsens. Aug. 17, 1930. Christiansholmsgade 27."

91


"The first elders of the new Esbjerg district. Top row, L to R: Juel Andreason, Hans Hansen, Pres. Larsen M.P., Aldred Christensen, Kenneth Lauritzen. Bottom row, L to R: Lynn Mickelsen, Theodore Jacobsen M.S., Sylvester Muir D.PL., Geroge Carlson, Merill Gregerson. Our first monthly meeting in Esbjerg."
