I was born on March 4^th 1944 as the first born to the great joy of the families

My parents, however, were divorced when I was only 3 years old and my childhood was not always that enjoyable as I was shuffled around between my parents new families.

I fell in love with Ole when I was 16 years old, we married in 1963 and we have kept together since. I had also started my education as a designer at the Copenhagen School of Design and Applied Arts. I graduated in 1964. At that time we had our first born Tine. Before I could start my professional life Tine and I joined Ole during his training in Canada in 1964.

When back from Canada I started my profession as an adult teacher, teaching design, tailoring and sewing. This I have since performed in many countries, always following Ole in his quest for new frontiers in aviation. Since then I have developed my interest in design of patchwork, silk painting and jewelry and this is my main interest today.
