This is an un-finished booklet I started to make at Artfest<\/a> in Lynne Perella<\/a>\u00b4s class. The plan is to keep adding details and color. Since Inspire me Thursday<\/a>s theme this week is \u201cAltered ancestors\u201d I thought it would be a good opportunity to share this with you.<\/p>\n

It is about my grand-uncle Andy, and his true adventures as part of His Royal Highness\u00b4 Mermaid Hunters Expedition, 1st Batallion.<\/p>\n

Before WW2 he left Norway as a sailor, and nobody heard from him after the war broke out. Everyone assumed he was dead. It wasn\u00b4t until the early 1970s he returned with a beautiful American wife. The family was happy about his return, and never gave it much thought about why he had been gone so long, the main thing is he was back! It wasn\u00b4t until over a decade after his wife died (and 3 decades after his death), we found evidence that he had been on a secret mission for years! All this time we had thought he was an ordinary sailor, when in fact he was working for the King. And hence is the inspiration for this little book, honoring his memory, and heroic contribution in finding the truth about mermaids.<\/p>\n

I don\u00b4t know if you can tell from the images, but he actually got a gold ring in his right earlobe, given to him for his bravery by the King himself.<\/p>\n
