Hans's Story
Life
Hi! I'm the guy from Sweden who used to have strange clothes. At least that's what it felt like for me. I had these flared V-jeans that was the rage when I left Sweden. But not in Calif. But my friend Bob Fargo told me the girls thought I was cute. I have the old school photo. My classes were; english with Ms Heckel, spanish with Mr Allen, in drivers ed, I was in the same "on street" car as Terri Knepper, who changed her name to Welles(married?) and was Playmate 1981. I also had electronics and biology. In phys.ed. some of the guys thought I had funny underwear; "hey Hans, do you have your bumblebee underwear on today?" I'll tell you, it was tough coming from another country and not being an exchange student. So nobody knew I came from Sweden, I was just some "funny guy"?? The first months were a pain; "now it's only 11 months until I go back home" Yeah, that's how I felt about it. But slowly I got more friends, and when it was time to go back home, I didn't want to go home. I wanted to stay in San Diego. A...Expand for more
nd it's been a lifetime memory for me. Every year in the fall, I wish I had more money, or won the lottery, so I could spend the winter in SD. I'm single...I guess I'll have to post some pics.
I've been back a couple of times. Last was in Feb'99. I build model cars, and I'm very good at it. I almost got a job with Revell in 1978. So I visited SD and met a modeling friend I only had talked on the phone with, before the trip. Having this hobby and interest has opened a lot of doors, and I have made many new friends. I wrote a model column in a Swedish magazine; Wheels for 10 years. Now I race slot cars and drive a taxi in Stockholm. I have a '72 El Camino and a daily driver; '83 Volvo turbo 245-wagon. I have a son, he's going to be 10 in September. I live in a two bedroom apartment that I own. I have lived in this place 20 years now, and when it was decided to start a tenant-owned society, I joined and bought my place, and made a good deal. Just added my now and then photos; See if you remember me now. Hans
