Norumbega Lodge Holds Reception in 2004 for Gro Harlem Brundtland(by John T. Gregg)Gro Harlem Brundtland and her husband, Olav Brundtland, were honored guests at a Norumbega Lodge reception held for them and for Lodge members on Sunday afternoon, April 15, in the Nordic Hall at The Scandinavian Living Center. Gro most graciously consented to share a few thoughts with us, among them reflections on living in Boston for a year while she and Olav as parents with two young children both did graduate studies at Harvard in the 1960's plus insights gained from being both a physician and active politician/leader for Norway as well as the U.N. Her unique style of engagement is a clear sighted blend of informed, logical reasoning plus direct approach that constantly maintains respect and dignity for all involved. It was particularly apparent when Gro suggested that she wanted to publicly respond to a complicated question posed privately to her that afternoon. An impromptu question and answer period followed where she again directly engaged the issues without wavering or compromising either her dignity or that of another. It was easy to see why she held the Norwegian prime minister's office for a total of nearly one-quarter century. Asked later in the day if she might consider another high profile job now that she had stepped down as Director General of the World Health Organization, Gro replied, "I want to be a grandmother." I predict that in 20-25 years, we can expect a best selling book by one of the nine Brundtland grandchildren entitied. "I Learned All I Ever Needed to Know About Cooperative Problem Solving and World Peace From My Grandmother".

At its annual initiation meeting in May 2007, Norumbega Lodge hosted a special appearance by Rolf Stang, a performer, singer, actor, story teller, humorist who regularly appears at Hostfest in North Dakota. He depicted Edvard Grieg in words and music complete with period costume. The setting was Grieg's last birthday, at which our impersonator gave reflections on Grieg's life as seen by the composer himself. Rolf Stang is a member of Sons of Norway in New York.
