It was long ago many young Americans...Dear Matthew,<br />It was long ago many young Americans arrived in Sweden. The first four, the so-called Intrepid Four, came in the end of 1967. They were Rick Bailey, Michael Lindner, Craig Anderson and John Barilla. During the next two years many others came to Sweden. Several of them came to Tyresö, a suburb 15 kms south-east of Stockholm, and lived at members of an active local peace organisation, called TUFF, which means Tyresö Uland- och FredsFörening (Tyresö Society for Peace and Developing Countries). TUFF also means ”tough”.<br />To-day many of the deserters have returned to the US. Of the "Intrepid Four" Craig and John returned many years ago. Rick who lived for a year in my family died in Sweden a few years ago. Only Michael is still in Sweden.<br />There is a Swedish writer who prepares a book about the deserters. <br />Kindest regards<br />Åke SandinÅke Sandinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06273458247855617578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11210435.post-49847443798223237572015-07-31T23:16:16.902+01:002015-07-31T23:16:16.902+01:00Hi Ake, I'm a British writer and broadcaster w...Hi Ake, I'm a British writer and broadcaster writing a book on the deserters who came to Sweden - I was wondering whether there was chance of talking to you about this?
