Smile I found the Swedish foreign student to the US -'72

Webmaster,
In December, I posted a request to anyone knowing Per W. - please contacnt me. If you recall WM, you did a search for me that included about 100-150 names of variations of the Per W I was looking for.
I contacted MCI, one of our phone companies in the US and got a cool break. For $4-US a month I can call Sweden for 8 cents a minute. With a cheap route in hand, I started down the list of Per, Par, Par (with the two dots above the A) and ran onto a very friendly, understanding group of people, all named Per or Par.
I ran onto a Par that was an exchange student to Texas another Per that was an exchange to in '70 to Minnesota, but not the one I was looking for. FRUSTRATING! The latter Per, encouraged me to keep looking and explained how much he would love to hear from someone that he became friends with in the US during his student exchange experience to the US. I kept calling.

One last call that evening, I hit "pay dirt". I got the Per W that I was looking for. He is doing great, two girls, a wife and a good job. I was not at all surprised to hear the good news about him.

This never would have happen if the Webmaster at Sweden.com would not have done a search for me.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Webmaster. You have been the important piece needed to re-connected Swedes with Americans in a very special and personal way. Pete Edick
