My entire family is from Sweden. It is the historic pivot from which I have daily circled my entire life. The Ale Vikinghomestead, just outside Göteborg in Bohuslän, which is where my father lived before coming to the United States. My morfar came from Klädesholmen which is also not far away.

I am far away, however. But when I dance and wear my Tjörn Folkdräkt, my leather soled shoes may be in the United States but my feet walk in Sweden. And all historical documents in Sweden, actual or reconstructed, are the lodestone to my pivots as it is for all Swedish Americans.

Tak,

Leonard Seastone (Sjösten)

PS: "Seastone" is a good name, but sorry it was changed when such changes devoured the past in this melting pot of America.
