Lennart Alfredsson 1958 – 2018 in  memoriam

It is with grief  we have to publish the sad news that Lennart Alfredsson is no longer with us. His struggle against cancer finally ended July 6. We all remember him as a great dancer and musician who also would enjoy a good pint of beer. He was also a founder member of Eken Morris Dancers back in 1979.
