Inger Schulstad

Inger Schulstad was a Norwegian doctor who served in the Korean War at NORMASH - Norwegian Mobile Army Surgical Hospital. (Wonder if she ever visited the folks at the 4077?) The photos are from the Trondheim Archives, and all date from 1952.

Hurricane Hazel

Bonus post for today. It's my birthday and I thought I would celebrate by posting photos of the natural disaster that heralded my arrival: Hurricane Hazel, a category-4 storm that wrought destruction on the entire Eastern Seaboard of North America, from Florida to Canada. The year was 1954. Guess what my name would have been if I'd been born a girl?

Axel Lindahl was a Norwegian photographer. These scenes near Telemark in the 1880s appear to have been made into postcards.
