morning, offering my reason for being in Stockholm as a local interest article.  The Editor, Joachim Björk, was delighted and invited me out at 2 p.m. That afternoon to the newspaper offices.  I arrived in a downpour of thunder and lightning and met Joachim, who interviewed me then drove me out to Lidingö Kyrka once more.  He took a number of photos of what I intended to leave the following day (the newspaper was closed over the weekend so couldn’t do it on 11 June).  Here’s the article:

Linda discovered her idol in the cemetery.

Linda Wood travelled from Glasgow in Scotland to visit an unremarkable memorial plaque in Lidingö Cemetery, the resting place of her childhood hero, the B movie actor Gerald Mohr, who she has traced to his resting place.

MAIN ARTICLE

Linda’s film star’s resting place

At the beginning of the 1960s, Linda Wood was a TV-mad Glasgow teenager.  Mostly she watched western series such as “Maverick”, “Cheyenne”, Bonanza”, “Rawhide” and Bronco”.

Most of all, though, her favourite was actor Gerald Mohr, who played a baddie and was normally gunned down at the end.

Now, in June 2005, that teenage crush has brought her to Lidingö.

As a journalist, it is sometimes tough to uncover a good story.  Sometimes they just fall into your lap ... like this story.  It started with the phone ringing and a voice in a broad Scottish accent saying “I’ve got a story that you might be interested in.”

A few hours later Linda, ignoring the Swedish thunder and lightning downpour, found her way here.  In her bag, she had a laminated picture of her idol and a bunch of forget-me-nots.
