Tink, Jens-Petter & great foodSteve & Tink Linder, Oystein & Jens
The first time Jens-Petter and his wife Astrid came to the USA some 22 years ago he was working on a doctorate at Fuller Seminary on the West Coast. Astrid was very pregnant with their daughter Marie Theresa.
They managed to get to Cincinnati after driving from L.A. to Minnesota. From there they came to Cincinnati where they were hosted by Tink and Gus Linder, dear friends from College Hill Presbyterian Church.
It was a very busy time for the Linder family but Tink has the gift of hospitality and she said, "OK, send them over to my house." That was a divine appointment for the Linders have been the American parents and gracious hosts to Jens-Petter, Astrid and their children for over twenty years. Although Gus passed away last year Tink continues to pour out her love and care on her Norwegian brood every time they come to town to visit us.

It was nice to see pictures of Dale and Joyce Linder. Dale married my wife and I when we lived in Annapolis years ago. We moved back recently but he has left the church here. Do you know how they are doing?
