Now a retired United States Marine Corps officer, I reflect back on my cold weather training in Norway. I’ve also traveled to Norway on a cruise with my family, and will be doing so again this coming July. While I was privileged to visit and see many great sites: The Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, beautiful fjords, a park full of beautiful sculptures in Oslo, a recoved centuries-old Viking ship, Northern lights…and much more. I must say, though, the thing that impressed me the most were the Norwegian people I encountered during my visits: always helpful, pleasant and kind. I very much look forward to our visit in July.

I believe that the cathedral organ has the largest pipe in the world. They do not play it very often, as they are afraid its vibrations may damage the wall structure. I believe it was called a 32′ bombard(height). I believe the diameter of the pipe was measured in feet. When we walked around it, I remember it being about 3′. Maybe you can check on it, and add it to your “fun facts about “Trondheim”. My choir was there in 1967
