Belated condolences.
I always remember him marching along on his skis, rifle on his back in what may have been the first biathlon race at the Viking ski club around 1960. He was an icon to us young shooters, perhaps more because he epitomized the calm, the clear eye and the wisdom we hoped for, and which every marksman should strive for in their lives.
