Looking For the People....
Paintings by the Children in Stockholm in 1930's (67Years Ago)

A friend of mine has a father who used to learn Esperanto. He had a penpal in Stockholm, Sweden.
Her name was Elisabet Olsson and she was a teacher. They corresponded with each other in Esperanto and she sent him the pictures that her students painted one day. He kept them with care for 67 years and handed over them to his daughter because she lives in Switzerland now and may have chance to visit Stockholm. Of course she cannot do anything even if she visited it but she feels like making contact with the old penfriend of her father and her students if possible while her father is healthy and fine. She wonders how the teacher and the students of these beautiful pictures are now.
I was quite moved with her story and offered my little contribution in carrying out her plan.

Please mail me if you have any information about these people:
Elisabet Olsson, Hans　Gustarsson, Anne　Lundell, Erik　Karlsson, Lennart　Morin, Lizzie　Lundborg, Backlund, Loren Bjorklund, Margareta　Larsson, Berit　F, Sonja, Sven　Erik, Ann-Mari　Pasti, Bengt　Larsson, Anna-gretto　Blixt, Bjorn　Fritzell.
Some or most names are hard to recognize for us, Japanese. Any help will be welcome about the paintings and the people.

This is one of the letters that my friend's father, Kiroku Goto received from Elisabet Olsson. It was mailed on May 26, 1938. Her address reads Hagag, Stockholm, where she lives no more.
