Karin lives in my neighborhood but is actually from Sweden. We took a ceramics class together and shared a ride. That's how I found out about her plans to visit her aging aunt in Iceland. Below are some excerpts from her email.
"Here
is the story of the magnets as I remember it. One was given to a woman
with whom we shared a room in a hostel in Iceland. I think she was from
Poland.
The
second one was given to my now 98 year old cousin in Sweden. She was
indeed a biker til she was 95, then she fell and broke her arm while
mounting her bike in a bike stand. Not a good idea and, as is often is
the case, that began her decline. I don't know what happened to the
magnet when her house was emptied but I suspect it is still on someone's
refrigerator somewhere in South Central Sweden. Nothing but nothing was
not taken care of and given a home."
