I wanted to find out more about her and profile her in this newsletter. So I asked if she would send me a picture I could use in the newsletter. Tell you the truth, I though she was a man when she first e mailed me, imagine my surprise when I received this picture. Hanne is a beautiful young woman. Hanne was born March 30, 1986 and is 20 years old. She is single and lives with her mother in Norway. I live 20km or about 30 minutes from Oslo, in Baerum close to a place called Sandvika, she told me in her e mail. Hanne is learning to be a cook, having completed two years in school and is now working and learning on a on the job training program. Her father, Hans Jorgen Klock, born in Trondheim, Norway, now lives in Sweden. He was born in Hans Klock has four brothers; Harry, Per Ove, Svein Egil and Hilmar Victor. Per Ove and Svein are twins born in Hans has a sister, Margit Henrette Aure who died a few years back. She was born in I like music. Almost everything you can sing along with, but hip hop and rap is not the kind I like to listen to. I have to say it Trance. I like the bass and rhythm its fast, Hanne told me in her e mail. Hanne likes cars, both driving and fixing them. Her first car was painted like a zebra. (Pictured) Hanne now drives a Pontiac Transport so she has room for her dog, Aris a 6 years old German shepherd. Hanne liked to play soccer when she was younger but has not played for about five years. Hanne told me that there were 91 Klocks in Norway over the age of 20. There are several living in and around Baerum, Hanne told me. I do not know Hanne is connected to the Klock Family in the United States, but it is always nice to talk and learn about Klock s who lives in other countries. Thanks Hanne, for sharing your story with us.

My wife, Darla, Ashley and I will be leaving for New York on June 9, We will be staying longer this year as we will be working and giving tours at the fort. We will be there on Wednesday, Thursday, Fridays and most weekends. Mondays and Tuesdays we will be out and about doing research. If you are in the area stop in and see us and we will give you the grand tour. My wife and I are really excited and we are looking forward to being the Site Interpreters this year at Fort Klock. The Wright Side I like to research the Wright and Ricketts side of my family. My mother was a Wright and my Grandmother Klock was a Ricketts. I have a story that I would like to share with you on my mothers side of my family. The Wright Side. My Grandfather s was Robert Wilson Wright. He was born in 1876 in Canada. He was a tall man as I remember and talked with a strong English accent that it was hard for me to understand. He died in 1954 when I was only 6 years old, but I can still picture his face in my mind. He had appendicitis and had to have surgery. He was in his late seventies and got an infection as the wound would not heal and died. My grandfather was married twice. His first wife was Lillie Calkins. Grandpa Wright and Lillie had five children namely; George, John Fred, Russell "Pete", Leonard and Lyle, who were twins, born Oct. 17, In 1918 the Wright Family came down with Swine Flu and was hospitalized. Uncle Pete remembered being in the Hospital and seeing the orderlies wheel a body, covered with a sheet, down the hallway past his room, with Pete's father walking solemnly behind, hat in hand. His mother had died. After her death the older boys were sent to live with their grandparents, and the twin boys, Lyle and Leonard were adopted out. Lyle was adopted to Dr. and Mrs. Charles M. Baskerville, who lived in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. Leonard was adopted to a family by the name of Klungzinger. Uncle Lyle remembered, as a young child a man would stop by every so often to visit and play with him. One time he brought a puppy up on the porch for him to play with. This went on for several years until Lyle heard his Mother tell the man Continued Next Page

4 The Wright Side Continued not to come anymore... Lyle was getting older and she was afraid he might start asking questions. It turned out that the visitor was my grandfather and Lyle's birth father. As the custom of the time, the twins were never told they were adopted, nor that they were twins, even though they attended the same school and were in the same grade. One day the teacher was explaining to the class the difference between identical twins and fraternal twins and used Lyle and Leonard as examples... It was a terrible shock for both of them and Lyle ran home crying. Since Dr. Basterville was a prominent citizen, the teacher was dismissed. It was not until Lyle was an adult that he went back to find his birth family and was able to meet his birth father and his other siblings. After the death of his first wife, My grandfather remarried, Lillie Fields, my grandmother. They had ten children, which included two sets of twins. Namely; (My mother), Beatrice Marie, Robert, Edna, Roscoe, who changed his name to Ross, Rita Mae, Homer, Arwilda and Joseph. Ross and Rita were twins, This made total of fifteen children, born to Robert Wilson Wright. Not all the children the survived to adulthood. One set of twins died at birth. I do not think that they were named. George from the first marriage died when he was about 12. My uncle Robert (Bob) died from what was called self inflicted gunshot wounds when he was about 28. But that is a story for another time. Homer, and Ross served in the service during the Second World War. I have not been able trace my Grandpa Wright side of my family past my Grandfather. I have had better luck tracing my Grandma Klock s side, the Ricketts, going back the Schweinhardt or Swinehart Family. I have the Swinehart going back to Conrad Schweinhardt who was born in Germany in Do you have a story you would like to share about your family?
