'...my dad had a motorcycle, and my mother started labor..."
Story
"It was an early Thursday, 26 of March, 1952. My parents didn’t have a car, but my dad had a motorcycle, and my mother started labor, and he got home from work, got her on the motorcycle, and got to the clinic—back then, they didn’t have hospitals where you went to, it was clinics—and so I was born less than fifteen minutes after our ride on a motorcycle at one o’clock in the afternoon.
That clinic was in the shadows of the Tower of the Savior, which is St. Christiania."
