Staff report:
About the series Avtrykk To explain the background to the series I need to return to my childhood in Ålvundfjord in Nordmøre. My father had a passion for history and the local community. He was a teacher, and was eager to share his knowledge with his students as well as his own kids. We always received thorough answers to whatever we asked. I have never been on a car trip or a hiking tour with him without the joy of a lecture or story. He talked about everything from the Vikings' conquests, passing conflicts of the Middle East, to presidential elections and war history, but maybe most he talked about local history and our own family history.
