I don't know his history at all, other than he lived with an old guy a few towns over from where we lived. I couldn't find that pic, but I did however find another old picture with the subtitle 'Picture from Iceland" It is of a young boy riding a sturdy (large) Icelandic horse... he's got some type of saddle on him, and a very lose noseband on the bridle. It almost looks as though he's using a leather bit of some sort. AND there is Icelandic writing on the back I believe it's from the 1940's. If I can get this pesky new scanner to work...I'll send in both the pic and the writing. I'm sure Mom didn't know there was writing on the back of it. If no one on the list can translate it, I'll have Mom do it the next time she's down. Wanda
