Editor, i
Logberg-Heimskringla,
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Dear Editor:
I wish to convey greetings and best
regards to o u r Icelandic - Canadian
friends who read your newspaper. I am
proud to tell you that I have been elect-
ed president of a newly formed organi-
zation here in San Diego which we call
“The House of Iceland,” the newest
member of the national houses located
in our city’s Balboa Park, incorporated
under the name of “The House of Paci-
fic Relations.” This is the first organi-
zation of Icelanders in San Diego and
our membership has already grown to
52 members in less than two monthsf
We had our first organizational meeting
on Sunday, January 30, 1977, at which
time we passed our by-laws and elected
our first panel of officers.
I have also been in contact by letter
with Hal Linker, Consul of Iceland in
Los Angeles, who, starring with his
Icelandic wife, Halla, has made more
than 15 travelogue films about Iceland,
including his most recent about Heimey
called “The Town That Refused to Die.”
My wife, Maxine, and I spent last
May and June in Reykjavik as house
guests of our very good friends, Sverrir
Ólafsson and Hrönn Albertsdóttir, Sverr
ir is on the staff at Sjónvarp and
Hrönn is with the Reykjavík school sys-
tem. We thoroughly enjoyed our holi-
days there with many trips and lots of
Icelandic fun.
I am enclosing some copies of our
H.P.R. publication which we call “Vik-
ing Visa” for your information. Please
write soon.

President, House of Iceland,
