PICTURES FROM DENMARK by Jimmy Harrell As some of you know Pete Ekstrom and his family are in Denmark. His parents Eric and B have a house there and are there most of the warmer months. Pete, Joan and Lene are there for an extended visit. I asked him to send some pictures while he was there and here they are along with the text of his emails. Hope you enjoy them. From: Erik Ekstrm Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2006 12:38:51 +0200 Just wanted to send you two pictures to see if you get them. One is a picture of Mom and Dad’s house and the other is a picture of one of Mom’s small flower gardens. If you get this and the pictures come out OK, let me know and I will send you some pictures of the sailboats and the Harbor as soon as I can. {{ {Note: Use the “Back” icon to return to text after viewing the pictures.} }} [CLICK HERE FOR A PICTURE OF THE HOUSE IN DENMARK->www.osyc.net/photos/2006Denmark/IM000391.JPG] [CLICK HERE FOR A PICTURE OF THE GARDEN->www.osyc.net/photos/2006Denmark/IM000393.JPG] Date: Sun, 9 Jul 2006 18:23:25 +0200 I am going to try and send you a picture of the Grenaa Club House with two boats in front of it and a picture of Dad with the two 24 ft school boats.
