Beverly Wassberg:  

The last year has had plenty of exciting moments in it. Chuck and I have been married since 1969, and we are both half Swedish. That became a very rewarding connection last year, when we were chosen to be on a Reality show in Sweden, for Americans of Swedish decent . The show is called "Allt for Sverige." We roamed about Sweden for 5 weeks with our 9 other cast members, and a crew of about 30. We learned a lot about ourselves and each other, living that close. We adore these new friends. We were AFS's 5th season, and we lasted till the end. We each had a family day in a place connected to our heritage, and they gave us the information they had researched. The show aired in Nov. and Dec. of 2015 for 8 Sundays. Each episode had a team challenge, and an individual elimination. We had challenges based on hitting balls into fiery hoops, archery, huge jig saw puzzles, grabbing crawfish cages out of the sea, and jousting, to name a few. Someone was eliminated in each episode, and went immediately home. The eliminations all had to do with memorization. I was surprised that I still could use my head. We managed to come in third against people who were from 20-45, years old. We have 8 active grandchildren, 4 Boys and 4 girls, that live close by. A lot of our time is shared with our larger family....Expand for more
