Hi! I am, in contrast to this thread, new here. But I have a little sunshine-story to tell, reading the messages from people here wanting to get in touch with a survivor. Back in 1992, when I was 15, I had the privilege of knowing the author Claes Goran Wetterholm. Well back then, before the real Titanic hype started after the movie, it was easier. Wetterholm simply and kindly gave me the address to Beatrice Sandstrom - the last survivor living in Scandinavia - and I, not very bashful, wrote to her with my many naive questions. I soon got a rather long reply from her where she told her story as best she could. I wrote back to thank her, and then received another reply! This went on for three years, with regular greetings for christmas and my birthday, until she died in 1995. The last letter, she wrote from her sickbed in the hospital shortly before her death. The letter was not readable, and was accompanied by a letter from her brother-in-law translating what she herself had tried to write. I never got to meet this kind and thoughtful woman in person, but she gave me something very precious I realise today; three years of attention. The year after, myself and a friend, Per Kristian Sebak, went to visit her grave (she is buried with her mother - also a Titanic survivor). I really have no point here, except to honour Miss Sandstrom and all the survivors who have done their best to fulfill the wishes of their "fans", and to say that some things have blown out of proportion after that movie.
