SVEN
The ethnic mix in Old Harbor is pronounced because many natives have non-native
spouses; in fact, many of Old Harbor's 300 or so residents seem to be related
to Sven's family. Sven's paternal grandfather was a merchant from Denmark,
hence the name "Haakanson"; his grandfather on his mother's side was Norwegian.
Sven's mother is one of 19 children, and she herself had 6, half of whom still
live in town. |
