SAGA. The story of my parents' lives
     
  SONGS   For Einar Ragnarson and Clara Caldwell Kvaran
     
1 When You Can Fly  They travelled and, as a result, had no place to truly call home.
2 There Was A War  My parents – a woman from Colorado and a man from Iceland – met at Berkley in 1944.
3 Top of the World They moved to northern Iceland and had three kids. It was a pretty desolate place,
4 Tropical Island In 1952 we moved to Sri Lanka, where we stayed for 12 years. A fourth child was born there.
5 Moving On We moved to the Philippines. I have always believed that my father’s career went well because, with good reason, people liked him.
6 More From the Philippines, the three oldest children went to the US. The family proceeded on to Indonesia, Malta and Rome.
7 Rolling On On retirement my parents split their time between Iceland and the US, finally settling on the latter. For years they drove for Meals on Wheels, helping the less fortunate, as well as pursuing their individual genealogies.
