IN SWEDISH

My name is Peter Lundgren. I am 34 years old and lives in Gothenburg, Sweden. This is a little story about myself and my life so far........

I was born on the 27th of February 1968, a tuesday. The exact time for the occasion were 11.34 pm. The big event occured at a hospital  called Sahlgrenska in Gothenburg.  I lived my first years in Flatås, which is in a part of Gothenburg called Västra Frölunda.  Nymilsgatan is the name of the street where me and my family spent my first years.  There, the family had a nice apartment of 3 rooms and a kitchen. The flat were on the ground floor and had a liitle garden outside.  My memorys of these days has slowly faded away but one of the things I remember the most is that there were a playground for children where they had animals for the kids to play with.  Animals like, rabbits, goats and pigs.

After about 3 years my family and I moved to another part of the town named Tuve. Tuve lies on Gothenburgs green island, Hisingen.  It was here where I spent the major part of my growth.  It was also here my nickname Lövet first was spoken.  The legend says that the name first was heard when I fell down from a tree.  I didn't fall all the way to the ground.  No, my foot got stuck during the fall and I ended up hanging upside down..............like a "löv" (Löv is the swedish word for leaf).

I wasn't the only one with a nickname. There were "Holmen", Sallad", "Jorsa", "Lauda", "Häcken", "Lillan", "Krask" and many many more.

After some years im kindergarten, real life were knocking on the door. It was time for school.  The name of the school for me and my friends was Gunnestorpsskolan. Here I spent my first six schoolyears. A nice and troublefree time.  When the years in Gunnestorpsskolan were done, it was time to change school. The question was, where would our class end up.....   Some classes were to go to Toleredsskolan, others to Glöstorpskolan.  We ended up in Glöstorpskolan.  Three years went by and it was time for highschool.   Which classes would I take. I choosed the Technical program for 4 years. Autumn 1984, I came to Lundby highschool.  Here I went for 2 years.  After this time I faced another choice.  It was time to focus on a few subjects.  I focused on lowvoltage electricity, and the school where I now was going to study at, was Katrinelundsgymnasiet.  Here I studied for 2 years.

After finishing school, it was time for the army.  Östersund and A4 were the place where I spent 10 months.  In good and bad....... I should say, if you are going to the army, the lovely town Östersund is the place for you.

The time in the army had come to an end and it was time to earn some money.  Volvo was the first stop.   Here I mounted doors, hoods and other things on the Volvo 740/760 models.  I worked like many others at Volvo for 1 year.  A dull work but with nice colleagues.   Time to change branch.  In April 1990 I started working for "Ale Datapanel AB" in Älvängen north of Gothenburg.  I worked with installing cables for computer networks and installed and configured units like terminalservers, hubs etc.  After 4 years it was time for other tasks.  I began working with the technical department at "The Panel".  Here I work with service and support.   So in 1997 "Ale Datapanel" was bought by the Stockholm based "DES Communication".  This was the beginning of "Integrated Systems & Services AB", which is the company where I work today.  These days I live close by Eriksberg in a part of Gothenburg called Lundby.

Me as a child...
