| 801 | Min USA-tur 2005 - ?10 minutters? oplæg af Sven Sjørslev, Lille Borgergade 19,2.tv., 9400 Nørresundby ? tlf. 98 29 43 31 ? E: sven-sj@stofanet.dk i regi af Slægtshistorisk Forening for Aalborgegnen ? afviklet mandag 3. oktober 2005 i konfirmandstuen på Aalborg Stadsarkiv: Jeg har slægtsforsket i mange år, og jeg fik som voksen at vide, at min ?morfar? ikke var min rig¬tige morfar. Min biologiske morfar hed Marius Martinus Christiansen, han var urmager og søn af skoleinspektør Bendiks Hans Christiansen og Anne Marie Thomsen fra Vester Nykirke, Skads, Ribe. Marius var født d. 21 august 1881 som nummer 4 af 6 søskende. Min mor talte ikke ret gerne om det, jeg skulle ?slide? mig til oplysningerne. For ca. 15-16 år siden fik jeg mere rede på den del af familien, og jeg fandt via udvandrerarkivet i Aalborg ud af, at Marius en kort tid havde arbejdet i Christiansfeldt i Slesvig og derfra var han emigreret til USA, han sejlede fra København med DFDS´s skib Oscar II den 5 april 1905 med ankomst New York den 18 april 1905 med angivet destination en søster og svoger i Minneapolis, Minnesota. Familien var søsteren Ingeborg og hendes mand Frederik Pedersen med deres to børn 4-årige Rigmor og spædbarnet Ernst. Marius havde haft et forhold til min mormor Anna Christine Rossen, hvilket resulterede i, at min mor blev født d. 21 oktober 1904. Marius blev tilsagt i retten i Esbjerg, hvor han måtte erkende forholdet, og han indvilgede i at betale 60 kr/år til barnets fyldte 14 år. Min mormor var selvstændig dameskræderinde i Esbjerg på dette tidspunkt, og jeg ved da ikke, hvem af dem der brød forholdet, min mormor var selvstændig nok til at have gjort det, men det var vel mest almindeligt på den tid, at det var manden! Det var først sidste år, der gik virkelig hul på bylden, da Birgit Øskov skrev i en af sine e-mails om links til en journalist i USA ? Lisa Petersen ? med forbindelse til ?The Danish Pioneer? ? se denne tråd http://www.dis-danmark.dk/forum/read.php?f=4&i=7127&t=7094#reply_7127 - Jeg mailede til Lisa Petersen med mine oplysninger, og hun fandt nekrologer i avisen i Minneapolis, hvoraf det fremgik, hvornår og hvor Marius var død, og at han efterlod sig 3 børn og 6 børnebørn. Der var også navne og adresser på et par af dem bl.a. på Walter W. Christiansen, som var barnebarn af Ma¬rius, som jeg jo også er. Jeg turde ikke ringe til Walter, så i august sidste år skrev jeg et brev til ham og forklarede grunden til min henvendelse. Der gik noget over en måned, før jeg fik brev fra Wal¬ter, hvor han meget skeptisk spurgte mig, hvor jeg havde denne viden fra. Jeg fotokopierede så min mors dåbsattest, adoptionspapirerne og Marius´ accept af adoptionen (min mormor var nu gift med kobbersmed Frederik Stevenius), og det overbeviste Walter så meget, at han skrev tilbage ?cousin? etc. Jeg fik oplyst, at den yngste af Marius´ tre børn ? Margaret ? stadig levede, hun var 84 år, på plejehjem og ved at blive en smule senil. Walter G. havde tre sønner Walter, Richard og George, Ada havde en datter Jean, og Margaret havde to døtre Judy og Kay. Disse seks børnebørn af Marius (som jeg) havde tilsammen 10 børn, og de boede næsten alle sammen i Minneapolis. Walter viderebragte mine mails til kusinerne, og jeg fik mails fra dem også, Judy startede med at sige ?how exciting?, og en heftig korrespondance kom i gang. Da vi begyndte at tale om en even¬tuel tur til USA i sommeren 2005, sagde Judy, at så kunne vi bo hos dem, vi behøvede ikke at ofre hotel, og de ville også gerne tage os med til deres ?Lake-home? i Wisconsin , hvis vi ventede med at komme til juni eller senere, ellers var der for koldt, det er jo staten lige syd for Canada. Da jeg fejrede min 70-års-fødselsdag i september 2004, ønskede jeg mig overvejende dollars til denne ef¬terhånden lidt planlagte tur, hvad skal man ellers ønske sig? Vi havde et par gode venner/naboer på Skovgården, som driver et rejsebureau, der hedder ?Sport International?, der rejser mindst to gange om året i USA, så de hjalp os med at finde ud af hvilke stater, vi skulle besøge og i hvilken rækkefølge, og de kunne leje biler til os med deres rabat etc. Selve bookingen af fly og et par ho¬teller skulle en af deres venner, der er direktør i et andet rejsebureau tage sig af, og det gjorde han til stor tilfredshed. Vi startede så fra Aalborg Lufthavn onsdag d. 18 maj om eftermiddagen og fløj over Kastrup ? Reykjavik ? San Francisco, hvor vi skulle have været ankommet 19.30 lokal tid, men det var deres jomfrurejse fra Island til San Francisco, og der havde været nogle problemer, så vi var forsinket 4 timer, så det blev alt i alt en flyvetur på ca. 16 timer ? det er langt. Vi skulle have været kommet i dagslys, men nu var det mørkt, det gjorde det vanskeligere at navigere til vores hotel. Det er jo større forhold end i Danmark, så først kørte vi med et metrotog i lufthavnen til vores bagage¬udlevering, og så kørte vi med et andet tog til biludlejningen, hvor vi skrev under på papirerne, og så pegede de ud i en stor garagehal, og på et givet område holdt ?full-size?-bilerne, vi skulle bare tage den, vi gerne ville have og køre ud gennem porten, hvor de lige stemplede papirerne, og så var vi ude i mørket i San Francisco. Da vi havde kørt nogle miles, fik vi øje på Holiday Inn Expres, som skulle være vores hotel, og glade var vi, indtil det viste sig, at det ikke var det rigtige hotel. De var nu flinke og ringede til det andet hotel og sikrede, at de holdt reserveringen, og de forklarede, hvor vi så skulle køre hen, men vi kørte selvfølgelig forkert igen. Det regnede, og gaderne var menne¬sketomme, men endelig fandt vi en ensom nattevandrer, og han vidste heldigvis, hvor vi skulle hen, og så kom vi hjem og i seng, og det var også hårdt tiltrængt. Torsdag morgen spiste vi dejlig morgenmad på hotellet, og så tog vi hotellets ?shuttlebus? til lufthavnen og derfra med toget til centrum i San Francisco, hvor vi skulle ud langs pier-ne i havne, vi skulle finde stedet, hvor færgerne afgik til fangeøen Alcatras. Vi havde en flot tur ud til øen, og vi havde en interessant rundvisning i det gamle berømte fængsel (og uhyggelige), hvor Al Capone og mange berømte gangstere havde siddet fængslet i mange år. Præsident Clinton udvirkede, at dette berygtede fængsel blev lukket i 1963, og indianere invaderede det i et par år i en slags opstand og protest, og nu er det altså offentligt tilgængeligt som museum, og det er yderst interessant. Næste dag tog vi en guided tour rundt i San Francisco med en dobbeltdækker, vi så broen Golden Gate og mange andre interessante ting. Tredje dag startede vi turen ned langs Stillehavet, hvor vi bl.a. gjorde ophold i Carmel og i Santa Barbara (Michael Jackson!). Californien er meget smuk, men det er et meget hektisk om¬råde, hvor man hele tiden skal holde tungen lige i munden. Vi overnattede på hotel i Los Angeles nær lufthavnen, hvor vi afleverede bilen, så vi var klar næste morgen til vores videre færd. Onsdag d. 25 maj fløj vi så Los Angeles til Denver Colorado, hvor vi fik den næste flyder - en Chevrolet Impala - og så tog vi den rundt i Rocky Mountains og længere sydover, hvor vi besøgte Mesa Verde (grønne plateau), som er et stort bjergområde, hvor man har udgravet, hvor indianerne boede i huler i bjergvæggene for 2500 år siden, man fandt det for små 100 år siden. Vi havde ikke problemer med at køre bil dernede, men vi kørte hele tiden vild, og det var ret problematisk p.g.a. det udstrakte og forvirrende vejnet. Amerikanerne var dog flinke til at give plads, når vi var kommet i den forkerte bane o.l. En dag var det helt galt, og jeg fandt en Highwaypatrol i den modsatte side, som det lykkedes at komme tilbage til. Jeg kørte ind bag ham og steg ud, og jeg blev skældt huden fuld, for man holdt ikke ?bag? en politibil men foran, og jeg sagde, at så kunne jeg bare flytte mig, men nu kunne det jo være ligegyldigt, og de det så viste sig, at han havde været tysk gift, så skulle vi også snakke lidt tysk, og han tegnede og fortalte og sikrede sig, at vi fandt det rigtige sted hen. Næste dag blev vi også standset med blink og hylende sirener, de havde dog taget fejl af en anden, så de undskyldte, og vi kunne bare køre igen. De kører i øvrigt pænt der¬ovre og overholder fartgrænserne, de kører ikke så stærkt. Efter at have afleveret denne bil fløj vi så onsdag d. 1 juni fra Denver til Minneapolis, hvor Judy stod i ankomsthallen med en fin buket blomster til velkomst, det var ganske rørende. Vi skulle endelig bo den uge hos hende og hendes mand Mike, de boede i et lækkert hus i Minneapolis i et kønt forstadsområde ved lidt skov og en sø. De var så bange for, at vi skulle kede os, så det blev en meget hektisk uge. Vi startede med at besøge Judys mor ? Margaret ? som altså er min moster, hun er på plejehjem, hun er lidt senil, men alligevel er hun forholdsvis frisk, og hun har en humor, der minder mig meget om min mor. Hun ligner både min mor og min ene søster, og hun siger selv, at når jeg smiler, så minder jeg hende om sin far ? altså min morfar. De tog os med rundt i Minneapolis og i Kulturparken, vi spiste meksikansk mad, og vi så parken med vandfaldene og statuer af Hiawatha og Minnehaha, ifølge den gamle legende, som jeg ikke selv rigtigt kan huske. Fredag aften var vi til familiemiddag hos fætter Walter og hans tyskfødte kone Angelica, som han har hentet hjem, da han var i militæret i Tyskland i 1963. Deres 3 voksne sønner og deres koner var der, de stod på rad og række for at hilse på os. Fætter Richard var der også. Jeg gav dem hver et eksemplar af min efterslægtstavle med tekst og billeder, og det vakte voldsom interesse og gav anledning til megen snak og debat, de havde gamle fotos til os og et par effekter fra min morfars urmager- og juvelerbutik. En morsom ting var, at Walter havde en porce¬lænsfigur af en airedaleterrier i vinduet, og da jeg spurgte, om han havde haft en sådan, sagde han, at han havde den da stadig, så den fik vi set, og det var som at møde min gamle hund, som døde sidste år, og det sætter nogle mærkelige tanker i gang. Til sidst kørte de os hen og viste os, hvor Marius havde haft sin forretning på det sidste, og hvor han havde boet. Så blev det weekend, og vi kørte op til Judys og Mikes ?Lake-home? i nabostaten Wisconsin, det var ?ikke ret langt? sagde de, det viste sig at være ca. 3 timer på motorvej, de regner ikke afstande som vi. Det var så et dejligt bjælkehus ? Dobbelt så stort som det derhjemme liggende mellem nogle træer og skrånende ned mod en sø, hvor deres store båd lå fortøjet. Der går somme tider en sort bjørn gennem området fortalte de, men den er mere bange for os, end vi er for dem, sagde de! Vi havde en pragtfuld weekend der med bl.a. sejltur på søen og middag lørdag aften på en nærliggende fiskerestaurant drevet af frivillige, og de havde alle sammen en eller anden skan¬dinavisk baggrund viste det sig. Søndag morgen måtte vi stå tidligt op, vi havde sagt, at vi gerne ville med dem i kirke, de er meget religiøse og tilbringer meget af deres tid i det kirkelige miljø, så vi kørte kl. 7.30 og var fremme i deres kirke i Minneapolis kl. 11.00. Det var en stor oplevelse. Folk gik rundt mellem hin¬anden og drak kaffe og spiste kager, og børnene havde et legerum med legetanter. Der var services flere gange bl.a. kl. 12.00, som vi deltog i. Et gospelkor underholdt i kirkerummet, og to præster talte ind imellem, den ene præst var en ung kvindelig præst, som havde boet i Nørresundby i mange måneder for nogle år siden som et led i hendes uddannelse. Det hele var en meget positiv oplevelse, og jeg tror, at vi ville gå meget mere i kirke, hvis det foregik på en sådan afslappet måde, og hvor man mere har en fornemmelse af, at man var en del af helheden, jeg tror faktisk, at disse kirkegæn¬gere har en mere positiv fornemmelse af det sociale samvær, og at de føler lyst til at ?være nogle bedre mennesker?. Da vi kom ?hjem? om eftermiddagen sad Kay og Corey på trappen og ventede på os, Kay er Judys yngre søster. De ville have os med en tur på en af deres store søer, så vi drog af med dem i stedet for at hvile os, som vi havde planlagt. Efter sejlturen kørte vi ud til kirkegården, hvor Kay havde fået en kirkegårds-funktionær til at mar¬kere Marius´ grav, han havde nemlig ingen gravsten, de var jo sure på ham, så de havde markeret den med en rød konus, som man bruger ved vejarbejde. Sønnen Walter og hans kone Lucille lå lige foran, så han var ikke helt alene. Han havde dog også boet hos dem en tid, efter at han havde fået en stroke, han var syg de sidste par år, inden han døde. Derefter skulle vi med dem hjem og møde deres familie, Judy og Mike deltog også + Walter og Angelica. Jeg skulle se Coreys Ford Mustang og prøve den, og jeg fik foræret en ?Ford Mustang kasket?, og der blev taget fotos. Også her blev efterslægtsbogen meget interesseret modtaget, og vi fik fin middag. Det skal lige indføjes, at Marius´ efterkommere har gjort det meget godt derovre, de sidder alle i store stillinger og bor i store huse i de dyre kvarterer. Mandag var Judy og Mike på arbejde, så vi tog på sightseeing i Minneapolis og St. Paul, og vi kom trætte hjem om eftermiddagen, og så var deres datter Amy og hendes boyfriend Richard der med deres lille datter, så skulle vi ud at sejle med dem på River Minnesota og Missisippi, de havde med¬bragt mad og drikke til turen, og så gik det derud af, det var også en stor oplevelse, og det var fint vejr. Da vi kom hjem, tog vi på restaurant for at spise, og da jeg skulle til at betale, så havde Judy fået listet sit kort til tjeneren, så det kunne jeg ikke få lov til. Vi gjorde så det, at vi den sidste aften i Minneapolis gav mad, idet Mette lavede frikadeller med tilbehør, det var en succes, da var deres yngste datter Missy på besøg, hun studerer engelsk litteratur på universitetet. Vi sluttede aftenen med at aflevere vores lejede bil, som vi næsten ikke havde brugt, og vi besøgte Margaret igen. Onsdag morgen pakkede vi vores sager, og Mike kørte os til lufthavnen, så han sørgede for, at vi kom rigtigt af sted. Vi fløj sø til New York med mellemlanding i Chicago, det var en forstyrret dag med mange forsinkelser - der var thunderstorms! I New York tog vi en taxa til vores hotel i 48 street nær Broadway, det var dejligt og lå ganske cen¬tralt. Vi gjorde byen bl.a ved at tage med et par forskellige ruter med deres sightseeingbusser, det er nok den bedste måde at se byen på. Vi stod af ved Battery Park og tog færgen rundt om the Sta¬tue of Liberty, og så kom vi til Ellis Island, og det var yderst interessant at være der, hvor mange af vores forfædre har gået gennem søjlerne og ind til forhør og visitation. Næste dag var vi oppe i The Empire State Building, hvor min far var for 73 år siden, lige da den var bygget. Derefter kørte vi til Ground Zero og så gennem gitteret, og så indtog vi vores frokost ved pier 17. Lørdag aften ? den sidste ? var vi i teatret og se ?Spillemand på en tagryg?. Vi havde købt de bedste pladser, og det var et brag af en forestilling, og det var fantastisk at blive lukket ud på Broadway kl. 23 i det sydende, spruttende og blinkende virvar og med 30 graders varme. Så var turen næste slut, næste dag var det flyveren hjem. | Christiansen, Marius Martinus (I1509)

| 807 | My father, Roy Neilsen travelled to the war scene in1918 at the age of 18. He arrived at the "war" but at about the time of the armastice and consequently saw no real action. As I remember, he told us that he saw only part of Egypt. He was one of many who learned about quarter horses and was very sad when told that for quarantine reasons none of the horses would return to Oz. He remember bits about India where the troops landed for a while on the return journey. I remember the 303 rifle and bayonet because he later trained at a small army base in Burwood Rd. Hawthorn, rising to the rank of corporal. Ronald Roy Neilsen, 29 Dec 2017 | Neilsen, Roy Hans (I187)

| 810 | My Mom (Pickle) remembers her Grandpa Rossen as being the nicest man who ever lived. He was a big guy who gave the best bear hugs and everybody in the Curtis area just loved him. He was a farmer when he first moved to the area and was the janitor at the school when he moved to town. She remembers when he got sick towards the end of his life, everyone in town went to visit him. Before he passed away, all of his children were at his bedside and he called them in for one last bear hug claiming there was room for everyone. When he had them all in his arms he told his wife Anna that he was going home. My Mom was 15 or 16 when he died and she remembers it as if it was yesterday. She also said he had the thickest, whitest hair. All of us Thomsens with thick hair can thank our Great Grandpa Jorgen. Jennifer Snyder, September 2015 | Rossen, Niels Jørgen (I40)

| 814 | Nashua Reporter, Wednesday, January 25, 1950] CARL HANSON JR. KILLED SUNDAY Carl Hanson Jr., 17 year old Nashua High School senior, was instantly killed about 4 p.m. Sunday in a hunting accident on the Ed Pillasch farm, one and one half miles north of Charles City. He was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Hanson Sr. Elvin Kollman, 20, of Nashua was wounded slightly in the left shoulder by one pellet of No. 2 shot from a 12-gauge shotgun shell. He was released Monday from Cedar Valley hospital in Charles City. With Hanson and Kollman were four sons of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Dietz, Robert, 18; Kenneth, 21; Wendell, 17, and Wayne 14. The youths were returning to their car after a fox hunt, when a double-barreled hammerless 12-gauge shotgun, carried by one of the youths, was discharged, the blast striking Hanson and Kollman. Carl Hauser, Floyd county coroner, ruled the death accidental and reported that no inquest was necessary. Junior was active in athletics and music activities at Nashua High School. He earned letters in baseball, football and basketball and sang in the mixed chorus and boys' glee club. He played in the basketball game Friday night when the Bulldogs defeated Manly. His death was a severe shock to the whole community as he had earned the admiration and respect of his schoolmates and adults alike. Sports fans, who have followed the success of the Bulldogs' teams, were shocked when news of Junior's death was received. Funeral services for Carl Hanson Jr. were held today (Wednesday) at 2 p.m. at the Methodist church. The Rev. F. L. Hanscorn of the Little Brown Church officiated and was assisted by Rev. E. C. Allen of the Methodist church. The high school girls' small group, under the direction of Miss Louise Heisey, music instructor, sang. The members of the group were Virginia James, Darlene Wagner, Donna Davidson, Sylvia Estal; Jeannette Stocks, Betty Crooks, Verna Jakel and Jo Ann Wait. They were accompanied by Max Wagner. The Misses Bertha Coffman, Iverne Wick, Alice Hammond and Shirley Muench were in charge of the flowers. Pallbearers were six members of the high school basketball squad. They were Donald Kehe, Charles Jensen, Marvin Juel, Russell Nordman and Ed and Curtis Bigelow. Burial was in Greenwood cemetery. ----------------------- CARL HANSON JR.

| 818 | Nebraska: the Land and the People: Volume 2 Louis H. Neble was born in Omaha, on the 16th of January, 1890, and is a son of Hans P. Neble, who has long been one of the sterling and honored citizens of Omaha, with the civic and business affairs of which city he and two of his brothers have been prominently identified. Hans P. Neble was born and reared in Denmark, whence he came to the United States and established his residence in Omaha in 1886, he having here continued his home during the long intervening years. He became associated with his brother Sophus in the purchase of the plant and business of the Danish Pioneer, which was here founded in 1872, by Mark Hansen, who was one of the honored Danish pioneers of Nebraska. The Neble brothers thus secured control of the Danish Pioneer in the year 1877, and they have continued to be associated in the ownership and publishing of this excellent weekly paper to the present time, though by reason of impaired health Hans P. Neble has recently withdrawn from the active service that had long been his portion and assigned the management of the business to Louis H. Neble, the immediate subject of this review. A third brother, John L., likewise became connected with the Danish Pioneer, with which he continued his alliance until his death, March 24, 1926, he having served for several years as a member of the Omaha Park Commission. Louis H. Neble is a loyal and appreciative citizen of Omaha, where he has continuously maintained his home from the time of his birth to the present and where he is effectively upholding the civic and business prestige of the family name. He was graduated from the Central High School as a member of the class of 1907, and had been a prominent and popular figure in the athletics of the school, especially as a member of its baseball team. After completing his high school course Mr. Neble served a four years' apprenticeship to the jeweler's trade, but this work so affected his vision that he had to abandon the trade. He thus, in 1911, became actively associated with the Danish Pioneer, where he gained practical experience in virtually all departments and details of the business and eventually won advancement to his present offices of vice president, manager and treasurer of the Sophus F. Neble Publishing Company. Mr. Neble was president of the Danish Brotherhood Bowling League in his native city, and has the further distinction of being president of the Nebraska State Bowling League, also president of the Omaha City Bowling Association, preferments that stand in evidence of his skill in the manipulations of the balls and pins and also indicate his personal popularity in bowling circles. In 1925 Mr. Neble made the highest score in the Danish Bowling League, his best score having been 297 and he having made eleven consecutive strikes on the occasion of his gaining the highest score of the local league. He is an active member of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, the Ak-Sar-Ben, the Danish Brotherhood, the Omaha Danish Association, and the Council Bluffs Country Club, at the links of which he finds seasonable indulgence in golf. He is a democrat in his political proclivities, and he and his wife are communicants of the Danish Lutheran Church. October 29, 1915, marked the marriage of Mr. Neble and Miss Helen Rossen, who was born and reared in Omaha and whose parents were born in Denmark. Mr. and Mrs. Neble have no children. Mr. Neble was formerly drum-major of the crack band of the Fourth Infantry Regiment of the Nebraska National Guard, and for fifteen years he was the successful and popular leader of the Neble Concert Orchestra. He is a talented musician, and is able to play effectively a large number of varied musical instruments. He has thus been a prominent figure in musical circles in his native city, and takes deep interest in all that tends to advance the “divine art” in his home community. | Rossen, Helen A (I1157)

| 826 | OBITUARY Fritz Nachant; self-made man was pilot, hunter and entrepreneur By Blanca Gonzalez UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER October 17, 2008 Fritz Nachant was about 8 years old when he traded in his violin for a hunting rifle. His mother had bought the instrument for him a year earlier, and although he didn't like it, he practiced and played it for her. But his love of the outdoors prompted him to swap his violin for a rifle at a pawnshop. Over the years he became an avid hunter, taking trips to Alaska, Siberia, Panama and Africa and counting Chuck Yeager and Gen. Jimmy Doolittle among his hunting buddies. He helped start the Safari Club in Los Angeles in 1971. The L.A.-based group eventually became Safari Club International, a worldwide group that promotes hunters' rights and wildlife conservation. A self-made man who didn't graduate high school, Mr. Nachant ran a successful contracting business for more than 30 years. He credited the youth organization DeMolay for putting him on the track to success. Mr. Nachant died of heart failure Oct. 2 at San Diego Hospice. He was 91. His daughter, Susan Lindsay, said her father was an entrepreneur from an early age, delivering newspapers on his bicycle when he was 6. By the time he was 14, he was selling newspapers to the Navy ships in the San Diego harbor, rowing his boat from one ship to the next. He was a teenager when his mother encouraged him to join DeMolay. “He said he was a smart-alecky kid making money selling newspapers so he decided to look into it,” Lindsay said. “He felt he didn't have direction, but he knew he wanted to do something with his life. He said the values he learned (from DeMolay) helped form his success.” As an adult, he became a Mason and a Shriner and enjoyed marching in parades and raising money for the Shriners Hospitals for Children. In the mid-1940s, he began working in construction. He eventually started his own business after earning his general contractor's license and built many service stations and auto repair shops in the region, Lindsay said. Early in his career, Mr. Nachant was advised by a friend to take up golf if he wanted to move ahead in business so he took his first golf lesson. After the lesson he went to nearby Gillespie Field to visit a friend who worked at the airport. The friend told him he should learn to fly instead of learning golf and took him for a plane ride. “He started flying lessons and never picked up the golf clubs again,” his daughter said. Mr. Nachant earned his pilot's license in the late 1950s and became an active member of the San Diego Sheriff's Search and Rescue Aero Squadron, volunteering to fly his aircraft to search for lost hikers and downed planes. He stopped flying in the late 1970s but he made one last flight as a co-pilot when he flew to the North Pole at age 80. Fritz August Nachant was born June 3, 1917, in San Diego to August and Elsie Nachant. He lived in the Los Angeles area for a time but spent most of his life in San Diego. He worked for Consolidated Aircraft and became a foreman of the B-24 outer wing department before going into construction. He married the former Elise “Dede” Quitsow of San Diego in 1940. The couple had three children. She died in 1974. Mr. Nachant married Anna DeSimone in 1980. He was a longtime supporter of the Salvation Army and the conservation group Ducks Unlimited. Mr. Nachant is survived by his wife, Anna of San Diego, his children, Susan Lindsay of La Mesa, Sally Reynolds of La Mesa and Paul Nachant of San Diego; stepchildren, Claudia DeSimone of San Diego, Adrianna Issakov of La Jolla and Vanda Scates of Santee; eight grandchildren; five step-grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. A celebration of life is scheduled for 11 a.m. today at the Musicians Hall, 1717 Morena Blvd., San Diego. The family suggests donations to San Diego Hospice, 4311 Third Ave., San Diego, CA, 92103. | Nachant, Fritz August (I4194)

| 839 | OCEANSIDE/CARLSBAD Ted was a true man who loved and cherished his wife, Barbara, of 38 years. He was a wonderful father who was always there to support his sons, Bill, Bob, and Sonny in everything they did. He was the kind of man that would put everyone else before himself and could put a smile on your face with a good joke. He grew up and lived in Oceanside / Carlsbad until he retired to the beautiful Southern coast of Oregon. Ted was a great man, a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend. He will be deeply missed!

| 849 | Onkel August Bjarne Lindberg Sørensen fortæller Han blev født den 1. april 1883 og fik navnet Peter August Lindberg, Sdr. Farup Vej 36, men blev vist aldrig kaldt andet end August. Hans mor og far var Mariane Lindberg, født Nielsen og Andreas Oksen Lindberg i Sdr. Farup. August har uden tvivl været en kvik knægt, for han blev sendt til Ribe på Katedralskolen, eller som den hed i folkemunde Latinskolen. Om det har været nogle ambitioner hos hans forældre om, at han skulle drive det til et eller andet, eller om det var fordi jo kun den ældste dreng kunne overtage gården. Omkring år 1900 eller måske endda nøjagtig i år 1900 emigrerede han til England. Det lyder vel ikke så voldsomt i vore dage, men den gang var det langt, og han kunne ikke sådan lige smutte hjem, så det var meget få fysiske kontakter der var, men han skrev jævnligt hjem til sine forældre, ligesom de naturligvis skrev til ham. På et eller andet tidspunkt er han kommet til Liverpool, hvor han blev gift med Lucy. De fik to drenge, Eric og George, som er født i 1912 og 1914, og de er dermed jævnaldrende med min mor og moster, altså deres to kusiner i Danmark. Men så i 1950 eller 1951 kom onkel August og hans søn Eric på besøg en sommer. August, som på det tidspunkt har været knap 60 år, talte til at begynde med et mærkeligt dansk, der dog hurtigt blev bedre, og Eric talte kun engelsk, hvilket ingen i vores familie kunne. Vi havde heldigvis en ung pige, som kunne en smule, og vi havde også besøg af min kusine fra København, som også kunne hjælpe med oversætteriet. August var inkarneret englænder af udseende. Han var ikke særlig høj, men meget rank og bredskuldret. Han gik aldrig uden for en dør uden hat, handsker og paraply. Hatten var speciel og mindede lidt om den type, som Clark Gable bærer i ’Borte med blæsten’, og dertil havde han hentehår, som blev holdt på plads af noget hårcreme. Men det mest specielle ved ham var hans overskæg. Det var pomadiseret og rullet i to spidser, som stod vandret ud til begge sider. Min søsters veninde spurgte en gang om, hvorfor han altid gik med en strikkepind i munden. Men elegant var han, når han spankulerede ned til rutebilen for at køre ind til Ribe. Knap så elegant var han, når han så kom hjem igen, for dels kendte han stadigvæk nogle stykker i Ribe, som han besøgte og blev beværtet af, og dels kunne han altid finde nogen, som han kunne drikke et par øl med. Onkel August fortalte mig en gang, at han havde lavet en opfindelse med at udvinde energi af tidevandet. Om den var blevet patenteret ligger lidt i det uvisse. Men ideen og opfindelsen havde han aldrig fået noget for, da den engelske stat og den engelske kulindustri havde syltet sagen. Han følte sig meget snydt for mange penge, da han var sikker på, at han ville have været millionær, hvis opfindelsen var blevet udnyttet. Jeg har skrevet denne beretning, fordi jeg kom til at fortælle noget af historien til min svigerinde, som sagde, at den måtte jeg endelig skrive ned, for der var nok ikke andre, der kunne fortælle den.
