    Phone call with Grace Christensen - Feb 1997
    Grace and Charlie were planning a trip to Denmark with other family members, as time
    approached for the trip Charlie decided he'd rather take a trip and try to establish contact with
    Peter's family. Grace thought it might also have to do with his fear of flying. Peter had
    located in Iowa/Nebraska area and his family was now in St. Croix, Wisconsin. Grace and
    Charlie got to a motel in St. Croix and started checking the Christensens in the phone book.
    They found Peter's son, but he was sure he didn't have any relatives in Canada. Charlie said,
    "Did he have a wooden leg, red hair and a temper to match?", and his son said, "That's my
    dad." Peter raised a family of 10 or 12.

    On January 12, 1902, (Martine's birthday), N.P. had gone hunting. He was showing his gun to
    some young kids that he had run into. Somehow his gun went off and shot his leg. The
    Doctor came to the farm to see him. The leg was amputated below the knee. After the doctor
    had gone back to town a storm came up. The neighbors got together and cleared the roads so
    the doctor could get back out to the farm to check on him. From that time on he wore a
    wooden leg that was fastened to his knee with leather straps, one at the knee and one higher on
    his thigh. In most pictures he took care to keep his leg hidden.
