October 12, 1975 - The king of Norway is in the Twin Cities as part of a tour to commemorate the first wave of Norwegian immigrants 150 years ago in 1825. Some 800,000 Norwegians left to come to the U.S. due primarily to overpopulation and lack of tillable land. A spokeswoman with the King?s press entourage, Anna Bagatier (sp?), says as Minnesota is the state with the most people of Norwegian descent, this was a natural place for the king to visit. Many people in Norway have relatives here. One spectator, Mrs. Anna Henland (sp?), came to the U.S. from Norway in 1956 for a trip and decided to stay and settle here. Spectators waved flags as the Air Force jet with the king arrived; the Augsburg band played (fanfare music). The king received roses and later left for the Leamington Hotel. He?ll be in Minneapolis for several days.
