Abstract
Father, Otto Christensen, was born in 1875 on a farm
that lay on the edge of the North Sea in Jutland, Denmark.
When he was four his mother died and his father remarried.
He spent his childhood tending sheep and cattle and playing
in the sand dunes and heather along the sea. He must have
spent much time dreaming his dreams.
