In response to I have featured your article posted by jerrib:

Thanks Jerri. I hope others find the king as interesting as I did. He was an amazing guy and really sort of set the mold for the Norwegian monarchy. This was quite an accomplishment at a time when Europeans were really starting to question the role of monarchy vs. republic.

I couldn't resist another article about the king's harrowing escape from Norway during WWII - this will appear in the next edition.
