So, when I was a child, 3rd through 6th grade, I lived in Oslo, Norway. My dad was a US Air Force pilot and stationed at NATO’s Kolsas Mountain, right outside of Oslo. He was the military aide for the ranking US general in Norway. We lived in a Norwegian subdivision a few miles away from his work.
The NATO community was amazing. Movie nights, family dinners, trips to museums, ski trips…
All of our neighbors were Norwegian, so I quickly learned the language and taught them how to play baseball. They thought I was saying “Buzz Ball” and I didn’t correct them. 😎
They taught me soccer and skiing. I went to school at the US Embassy school a few miles away. It was grades 1-12. Not a lot of us there but the education was outstanding.
I also played my first little league baseball there. And I’d play for a long time after. Another really cool thing about that school was that, in the winter, I would actually ski to school with my younger brother.
We had both cross country skis and downhill skis. The school also had its own runs and ski jump, so I learned to jump there as well. Sometimes I’d ski to school on my cross country’s with my downhills strapped to my back.
The experience was idyllic. Short summers, cold winters, little sunshine, no American frills, no TV, no internet, no phones. Just an American service family serving the nation abroad.
I wouldn’t change a minute.

After my daughter graduated today, we went outside to take photos.
She took off her pinning sash and put it on her dad's neck. She put her ADPI sash on me. I looked at her and said, "I didn't graduate college."
"Today, we all graduated."
I cried.
Yes. I do have pictures of this, but again cant share it.
It's been an emotional roller coaster today.
