What term did you attend IPC?
Winter Term 1962/1963 (5 months)
Are you married? Do you have children?
Yes, married since 1965.
One son of 40 years.
No grandchildren.
What do you do?
I'm retired. I do a lot of genealogical studies, and I serve on the IPC-council.
Over the years I worked as a secretary, a tourist guide; I worked in adult education, and I have a B.A. in English.
What are your best memories from IPC?
Oh, dear! What a question!
The other students from some 14 or 15 countries.
The Shakespeare performance, Twelfth Night, that we and Mr. Petry staged.
Who have you met up with since IPC?
Mostly Danish students and our teachers, Mr. Rehfeld and Prof. Sampatkumar, the only teachers still among us - as far as I know.
What was the greatest thing you learned at IPC?
The greatest thing? Difficult to answer. Over the years many things have come back to me: Oh, I learned about this at IPC.
Perhaps the encouragement to work in international NGOs.
What message do you wish to give to everyone from your IPC term?
We are meeting on the 17th of August 2006 at Kirsten's home in Glostrup.
I have current addresses of 70 out of app. one hundred students from 1962/63.
Unfortunately 7 of the remaining 30 have passed away.
If interested in our reunion or in the address of one particular fellow student, please contact me.
