Vi håper at det er noerettferdighet i denne verden og at ?systemet? til slutt tar affære.Hadde overformynderiet fungert ville Hallén-gården fremdeles vært iHallén-familiens eie. Undertegnede og resten av familien har ikke gittopp håpet!!. Avtalene vår far skrev under på da han som dement ?solgte?Hallén-gården og vår hytte til nåværende eier (som da satt som?rådgiver? for vår far) er så urimelige at ingen person ved sine fullefem ville underskrevet.

Vår far fikk aldri nyte godt av salget av Hallén-gården, nåværendeeier betalte ingenting for gården før fem år etter salget, da hadde vårfar vært død i én måned. Eiendommene er solgt for en brøkdel av det deer verdt. Kjøpet rettferdiggjøres av den nåværende eieren ved at hangår rundt og snakker nedsettende om Hallén-familien.

Vår far ble våren 2004 kastet ut av bygården av den nåværendeeieren, pappa bodde på Sofienberghjemmet de siste årene av sitt liv,han hadde ikke engang penger slik at en kunne kjøpe den stol han såsårt trengte - den koster 23.000. Når en vet at den nye eieren avHallén-gården blant annet har pantsatt gården for 25 millioner, erdette så tragisk som det kan få blitt.

Vi skrev også til overformynderiet at pappa trengte denne stolen forå heve sin livskvalitet, men fikk aldri svar. En rettsak motoverformynderiet fant sted den 2-6. juni 2008.

KILDALL, Michael (d. 1924)

Michael Kildall, 94, Hit By Train at Lake Whatcom.When he was said to have been within six feet of safety, MichaelKildall, 94, one of the first fishtrap owners on Puget Sound and aformer Norwegian vessel owner and operator, was struck and fatallyinjured by Northern Pacific freight train, No. 931, about 4:30 p. m.Tuesday on a trestle near Towanda, Lake Whatcom, where he lived. Hedied at St. Luke's hospital at 5:30, a few minutes after his arrivalthere. Mr. Kildall suffered an amputated left leg and a fracturedskull, when hit by the train, which was driven by Engineer A. Marion.Members of the train crew said that the aged man was within six feet ofthe end of the trestle on which he was walking, but that he evidentlybecame confused. Though he was said to have been hard of hearing, thetrainmen believe he heard the whistle, as he turned around after it hadbeen sounded. The emergency brakes were applied, but too late. Thetrain, inward bound from Wickersham, was rounding a curve 350 feet fromKildall when the tragedy occurred. He was returning home from a visitto the home of a neighbor named Pearson. Mr. Kildall was hurried to thecity aboard the train and from there he was taken in the city ambulanceto the hospital, where he was attended by Dr. A. Macrae Smith. As hewas being carried through the hospital doors he opened his eyes andmurmured, "I guess I'm about done for."The first white man's fishtrap at Cherry Point, Lummi island, wasbuilt and operated by Mr. Kildall, and he was one of the originalowners of the Kildall Fish company. He sold his interest therein manyyears ago. Before coming to the United States he operated a line ofvessels in Norway. He had lived in Whatcom county for thirty-six years.He was a member of the Norwegian Lutheran church, though he was not amember of the Bellingham congregation. The survivors are three sons,Simon F. Kildall, Los Angeles; Joseph Kildall, Seattle, and JohnKildall, of Vancouver, B. C.; three daughters, Mrs. Marie Lee, withwhom Mr. Kildall lived at Towanda, near Agate Bay; Mrs. S. O. Haugan,of Seattle, and a recently married daughter, also residing in Seattle;twelve grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. Funeral serviceswill be held at an hour to be announced by Arthur C. Harlow.

Dupuytren'scontracture (DC) is a fibromatous disease of the palmar fascia ofunknown etiology. The present study was undertaken in order to assesspathophysiological mechanisms and consequences.

In a cohort studyof 2,375 patients operated for DC at the Department of Hand Surgery,Uppsala there was a male: female ratio of 5.9:1. Women had a highermean age at first operation than men. One-third of the men andone-quarter of the women required repeated surgery. Early age at firstoperation was associated with recurrent disease.

The risk ofcancer was determined in 15,212 patients operated on for DC in Sweden.The overall relative risk was increased by 24%. There was asignificantly increased risk for buccal, oesophageal, gastric, lung andpancreatic cancers, which indicates that smoking and alcohol abuse areprobable risk factors for DC.

Furthermore, there was anincreased frequency of fibrosarcoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma,the cause of which is unexplained

The causes of death wereevaluated in a national cohort of 16,517 patients operated for DC.There was an overall increased mortality (SMR=1.06), inversely relatedto age and significant for both sexes, in patients under 70 years. Therisk estimate was highest for endocrine-, gastrointestinal-, andrespiratory diseases, and accidents. There was also an increased SMRfor cardiovascular diseases in younger patients more than 10 yearsafter surgery. The most probable mechanism is related to smoking andother lifestyle factors.

Outcome after surgery was not related tothe immunohistochemical expression of connective tissue activationmarkers, such as collagen type IV, integrin α5, laminin, smooth muscleα-actin, procollagen type I, and desmin, in surgical specimens in aprospectively investigated group of patients. Furthermore, there wereno associations between gender, age at onset of DC, number ofoperations, heredity, diabetes mellitus, or medication forcardiovascular disease, and the expression of the different markers.The individual characteristics that place a person at high risk are,thus, not obviously related to ongoing connective tissue production attime of surgery or to connective tissue activity in its conventionallyused sense.
