Skiing in Norway for Easter vacation

Norman Greenwood - Scientist

Now, at the end of each term we went on vacation. In the Easter vacation we went to Norway, skiing; I’ve mentioned that I had met Kirsten, a Norwegian lass, and she and her cousin and Ray and I went up to a little village, I suppose one could call it, called Reimegrend, up in the mountains between Bergen and Oslo. Snow conditions were superb, and we had a wonderful time up there. They were staying at a different pensionnat about a kilometre away, but we skied together each day and had meals together.
