kreativ1.jpg (110946 bytes) I painted this when I was 3 years old - or was it on a "creativity course" when I was in my early twenties? It's painted blindfolded with my left hand without lifting the pen. It's supposed to be a table with a fish on a plate, a bottle of wine and a glass. Pretty good, eh!

I bet you haven't seen a more cute toddler - unless of course you've had one yourself

Well I grew up - and although I was a nice kid I've probably had my share in the grey hairs they have today. The first picture is from Esbjerg - don't ask me what I've painted - but I'm quite proud apparently. The suit on the next picture I wasn't at all happy I had to wear - but the photographer was a pro and made me forget about it and give him a smile or two.

Below you can see all my classmates the first year I went to school. My best friend at that point was Søren. He is no. 4 from left in the back row. Our class-teacher was Miss Poulsen. I am number 3 from left in the second row.

haubrodrama.jpg (14434 bytes) At the age of 1977 (or thereabouts) I moved school to Haubro. This picture is from a christmas show we did. haubrofriskole.jpg (11928 bytes)

This is a picture of the school. Not very big - we were about 25 pupils in the school.

This is Henrik and I. We were very good friends. henrikglide.jpg (9374 bytes)
Henrik lived at a farm and we quite often played
around there.

henrikogclaus.jpg (3966 bytes) This is Tim and Henrik. We had a 'ice-sliding-thingie' just behind the school and I took this shut as Henrik tried it out.

rundboldvinter.jpg (5522 bytes) We played 'rundbold' - a kind of baseball - in almost every break all year round. In the end we became very good and alwyas won the tournaments we participated in.

growup8.jpg (5208 bytes) In 1980 I made a bet with 4 classmates. They dared me to shave all hair off my head and so I did. Pretty cold, but also quite fun to see all the surprised classmates and teachers.

The hair is just about to grow out later in 1981 (year 8 in school)... growup9.jpg (31085 bytes)

Middle row rightmost is me - as you can see I was quite small. I was also the youngest in class except for Ole, who is just in front of me. Ole was my best friend for 2 years. Our main teacher Schoening was a really good fellow. He was able to see the best in the worst and get it out. A great chap.
