Frode's memory was always good, both short and long term. Living to over 100 there was a lot to remember. Here's an example. His parents immigrated from Denmark to a farm northwest of Westhope, N.D. That places the farm a mile and half from the Canadian border. As boy during prohibition he recalled accompanying his father on a special mission. Riding with his day in the car they drove cross country through the fields to the Canadian border. At the border they met Canadians who sold his dad beer. Thus, evading the strictures of prohibition.
Always quick with a quip Frode also would tell jokes. There was an elderly couple in an unhappy marriage. They were always fussing at each other for one thing or another. Finally the wife had had enough so she had an idea. She said to her husband, "Let's pray the Lord take one of to heaven, and I'll go live with my sister."
Takk for alt,
