5. We are keeping an eye out for a coming TV series called “Atlantic Crossing.” It is currently showing in Norway and can be seen on NRK in Norwegian. We should be seeing it with subtitles next spring. It is an eight episode series about Norwegian Crown Princess Märtha and her children, who crossed the Atlantic as political refugees and found a safe place at the White House with President Roosevelt. Thanks to Tuula Bigras for the heads up! This is sure to be of interest to many of our members.
