Hmmm "Wejp" sounds Dutch. But then again in the beginning I thought Ari Behn
was from Finnland due to his first name.

Don't be modest - you forgot:
-- Olaf Solstrand (Norway)

By the way to correct Dutch way to write Kruse seems to be "Cruys". As
historians belive that the Dutch later Russian admiral Cornelius Cruys (who
actually was born in my homecity Stavanger as Nils Olsen) was of the
Kruse-family from the Molde area and thus changed the Norwegian Kruse into
the Dutch Cruys when he came to The Netherlands.
