Pedersen

In the early 1950's my grandma Ketty met this handsome fella...

My grandfather Børge -also known as Pedersen which was his last name (it used to be mine too..)
I went through the family photos and found an album I had never seen before...

His photos from when he was in the army, stationed in Germany in 1953 and 1954. He drew the frontpage himself... It says: "Memories from the Danish Commando in Germany" his soldier number and his last name... I looove the bow!

The first two photos was of this lovely lady...

I believe it's the wonderful Vera Ellen from "The Belle of New York" and it looks like he took the pictures at the movies;) sadly I never had the chance to ask him about this.. I love Vera Ellen too!

The rest of the photos (there are quite a few..) are of him and his soldier buddys, they look like they had a great time, smoking, drinking, figthing for fun etc.

He loved motorcycles, cars, trucks and everything in between and was a truckdriver for many years... He always kept his cars and other family members cars and/or bikes in the best condition possible, he repaired them (often with my dad and my uncle..) washed and shined them up and would always give you a kind reminder to keep your bike clean.. "It'll run smoother" he said;)
He was also a very dedicated smoker  -cigarettes and pipe. He loved his garden, he had the greenest lawn in town and spend every second he could in the sunshine, he always had a great tan...

Here's a couple of him and I together when I was very little....

I love this one where I have my arm around him...

I miss him sooo much! We all do...

I'll post more later on of my grandparents wedding and their children....

Oh, I almost forgot here's to you Grandpa'!!! Enjoy..
Naughty but nice;)
