I am Danish, and presently I work as a Senior Technical Writer for First Data. My American husband John is a retired MSgt and and currently work for ITT at Offutt AFB here in Bellevue.

I came to California after spending almost 11 years at Thule Air Base, Greenland (from 1979 to 1983, and then again from 1988 to 1995). Many of my friends, and my family, are in Denmark, but we had a small community there that reminds me of home, Solvang. Here in Nebraska there is also a small Danish community, this one named Dannebrog.

I went to school at Sønderbroskolen in Aalborg, Denmark, from 1961 to 1971 and afterwards I went to High School at Nørresundby Gymnasium from 1971 to 1973. After that I moved to Copenhagen and pretended to study for some years at Copenhagen University, before going to Thule Air Base, where I worked for DAC (Danish Arctic Contractors), in Communications.

In 1983 I went to Lubbock, Texas to study at Texas Tech University, and there I got my B.A.'s in Telecommunications and Political Science, and my M.A. in Political Science with a minor in Mass Communications.

After a stint as a journalist in Copenhagen, Denmark, I went back to Thule Air Base, Greenland, this time for GC (Greenland Contractors), and worked in Communications and Fuels Management, until I was offered the Fuels Accountant job at Vandenberg AFB, in Lompoc California, in June 1995. In 1998 I was offered the job as Chief of Publishing for Dynamic Concepts Inc, at the same base. When my husband had to relocate to Nebraska, we went here, and I got the First Data job.

Thule Air Base has a beautiful scenery (and big chunk of my heart), but also a lot of icy cold storms and darkness. See the Thule photos on this site.
