2 July 2024 Linkoping: Dinner with Jan and Jasper



Jan Andersson is my first cousin, son of my mothers sister Marlene Andersson.  Her maiden name was Marlene Swanson which was the Americanized version of Svansson.  Jasper is Jan's son and he joined us for drinks in the square and dinner at the Elite.  We talked non stop for three hours about all things Andersson and Leip.  Add to that drinks and a very tasty dinner and you have the makings of a great time.  



A part of the base of a large statue in the square


This is a statue of Folke Filbyter, an 11th century atheist who destroys both the old and the new symbols of religion


Old Folke is featured in the literary works of Verner von Heidenstam


Skol!


Jasper is cracking a smile
