dairy barn had to be more in
sulated than the sheep barn." In
the summer the sheep are
pastured in the mountains. April
and May are the traditional
lambing months in Norway.
The mention of sheep and wool
brought those beautiful Norwegian
sweaters into the conversation,
and it is true that they are
authentical and stunning. Edvm
brought an intricately designed
sweater with him which his mother
had knitted.
In Norway Edvin attended trade
school and learned to wire homes
for electricity. He then attended
college and studied electrical
engineering. He had been working
for a power company as a lineman
before coming to the United States,
but he says, “I haven’t been
working as an engineer and 1
would like to practice what I
learned in'school.” He will look for
a job in that field when he returns.
This is not Edvm’s first visit to
the United States, In 1976 he
traveled to Minnesota on a 4-H
exchange between that state and
Norway. It was. a one month ex
change,and it wheited his apetite
for more.
”1 saw some, but not enough. 1
wanted to see more of the states
and the way people live,” he said.
He was not selected the first year

'he applied for the program, but
this year he was given the'hod and
as he puts it, "Here 1 am.”
When asked if he found the
United States as he expected, he
said, "When I left Norway 1 didn’t
expect anything at all. 1 left my
mind open, then whatever hap
pened would be good. There have
been no surprises. I like
everything. 1 haven’t had a boring
time."
Edvin has been a member of
Norwegian 4-H which is geared tor
young people ages 10-18, and he
had projects in sheep, wood
working, forestry, cooking and
others. He visisted Lancaster
.County’s Achievement Day, and
says, "I liked it. 1 got to see some
of the projects you have here.”
About the IFYE program, Edvm
said, “It has meant a lot. When 1
came I wanted to learn the way
people live here and I know more ,
about it now than when 1 left. 1
wanted to learn the language and 1
think 1 have. I wanted to learn to
stand in front of an audience and
talk because I knew 1 must show
slides and now 1 can do that.”
He added, “You get to know a
country in a better way than
tourists. You get to see what you
want to see. You get to see how
people live. You get to know people
from all over the world.”

difficult at first. "I knew what to

in a' sentence and use it. ”
Edvm has enjoyed the food m
this country, but in talking about
the food in this country he couldn’t
resist bragging about his mother’s
delicious bread. It is so good, in
fact, that a host mother in Missouri
baked it and won a blue ribbon with
it. One reason it means so much to

Edvm is that "bread is the main
thing at all the meals.”
He explained that breakfast is
bread, coffee and milk. There is

mam meal of the day and usually

to Edvm), and vegetables, in mid
afternoon there is coffee and bread
and there is a light evening meal,
also with bread.
The recipe is being included tor

everything.” He has two brothers

Edvm hopes to travel, saying, "l
haven’t seen tl\e West Coast.” He
