Benny was very surprised! He had no idea he would be
 recieving the Thore Ehrling Award that night.


His children and grandchildren were there also.




 
During the summer Frida gave an interview that comes out on her new DVD. It has video clips from her early TV
 appearances, during the ABBA time, and after ABBA until now. She is relaxed and funny as she speaks about her life.
 The interview takes place in Zermatt with the Matterhorn Mountain in the background. She is speaking in Swedish.

Frida was one of the speakers at the Mentor Foundations Charity performance of Mamma Mia in September.
Queen Sylvia, Frida's good friend, is also a member.        (info from Mickory's ABBA blog)
"This is social problem tha involves more than just drugs. It's about feeling loved.
If you are loved when you are young you have a better chance not to get caught up
 in drug use. We have a responsibility as adults to guide and treat our children with
 dignity. We must not give up!"
