    3D Third District Today November 2015 Happy Veteran’s Day Happy Thanksgiving Published by Ron Martinsen, 3D Pub. Rel. Dir. 3D SofN Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/TheThirdDistrictoftheSonsofNorway The mission of Sons of Norway is to promote and to preserve the heritage and culture of Norway, to celebrate our relationship with other Nordic countries, and to provide quality insurance and financial products to its members. Fra Presidenten, Mary B. Andersen 1 If you don’t do it, who will? It’s that time of year when we begin thinking about lodge officer positions. We get comfortable and it becomes too easy to say “they” will do it or “she always does that for us”. Many of our members have “been there, done that” a few times! If you haven’t held a lodge position, why not? Lodges don’t run on their own. Often times, it is a core group of people who year after year take care of everything. It is time to give them a break! Why should you become a lodge officer? You learn a lot about Sons of Norway when you are elected to an officer position, including: How a lodge is run Where the lodge gets it’s funds from What is involved in planning an activity How the lodge relates to the District and All the various forms (no fun, but necessary). More importantly, you learn to connect with your fellow members both within your lodge and your Zone. Yes, it does involve some work, but the rewards are many, ask a current or former officer.

ISBN-0-9667409-1-2 Preface In this collection of stories, I have recorded some of my adventures on the mountains of the world. I make no pretense to being anything other than an average hiker for, as the first stories tell, I came to enjoy the mountains quite late in life. But, like thousands before me, I was drawn increasingly toward the wilderness, partly because of the physical challenge at a time when all I had left was a native courage (some might say foolhardiness), and partly because of a desire to find the limits of my own frailty. As these stories tell, I think I found several such limits; there are some I am proud of and some I am not. Of course, there was also the grandeur and magnificence of the mountains. There is nothing quite to compare with the feeling that envelopes you when, after toiling for many hours looking at rock and dirt a few feet away, the world suddenly opens up and one can see for hundreds of miles in all directions. If I were a religious man, I would feel spirits in the wind, the waterfalls, the trees and the rock. Many of these adventures would not have been possible without the mar- velous companionship that I enjoyed along the way.

The punt was so long it wanted a very special truck. The last week in July urgent telegrams from the Rail company ordered us to remove our punt at once from the rail truck at Oxford – it was wanted for urgent purposes. We started on the 2nd August and the peace of the last 100 years engulfed us so that the memory of Abingdon Bridge with its ancient town and the sweet calm of that eternal river flowing in the sparkling sunshine remains for ever in my mind. I know of no pleasure to equal the upper reaches of the Thames; a punt you can manage and a summer day; our content was complete as we waited for the Oxford steamer to come out of the lock to get upstream – for us to enter to go down. There was dear old Becket, curator of the Central School, leaning over the rail. “Hullo! Hullo!” – as he passed six feet away – “Have you heard? We’ve declared war [sic] on Germany” and he was gone.
