James Bond "A Father Figure" Author: James Bond Gunnar Schäfer

Chapter
2. Before
I was James Bond. As I write this book, I had just turned 50, that is to say, I have just gone through what we call life's meridian. When I look back in my previous life, I can state that I grew up on life's bright side, rather the contrary. Two forces have pushed me forward in life. One has been the need to in every way for myself and my surroundings to show that I will do. For the Second, I have the rising force felt the need to find my roots, and I am thinking especially of my father. Where did he come from, who he was, every did he go? What was his fate? These are questions that will follow my whole life. I was born March 30, 1957 at Västervik's Hospital. At that time lived our family, no mother and father John Charles in Virserum. They had already two sons, Bertil, was born in 1951 and Heinz born in 1955. Pretty soon we moved to East Hällasjö, near the community Boda Mill in Nybro Municipality. Mom was home taking care of their three children. Dad worked in the home as a shoemaker, and was engaged in part-time as a music teacher at school in Johansfors. Soon we moved again, now to central Stockholm, where we would stay at different addresses, first out suburb Dog Painting, later included in the central city. Disaster It was here in Nybro the great disaster for our family occurred. Suddenly Dad was just gone. I was when it happened so small that I do not really understood the full extent of the incident. It was the first years away away clear to me. He would have gone home to Germany to look for her mother. But he never came back. I will later in my story to come back to my father, his background and what he meant for me. Mom could not keep track of three young children while work to support her family alone. We became a social event. I remember also at Christmas time when the people came from the Lions in Nybro and left food, money and Christmas presents for us children. It is unpleasant experiences when you look back on those days. When dad disappeared was also a difficult time for me in a different way. When dad was home he held my older brothers in God's discipline and cautions, sometimes with the help of his austerity. I have no recollection that he was strict with me as the little boy. Mother had difficult to do justice and to the Huta of us who have done something wrong. The older often blamed on me when something happened, as the mother dealt with. Sometimes I impression that my older brothers' image of our father, therefore, are not as positive like mine. 1965 new people into our family. His mother had met a new man. His name was Sven Walliander. With him from a previous relationship had he has a daughter. She was not God's best children. Even when she was that should be banned for their conduct, to any mischief done, blamed the on me and the others were believed. It is not wrong to say that I was a bit scapegoat while chopping chicken. The latter brought with me a feeling that I was incompetent. The need to wash away that impression, not only of others but also within me itself, grew. It became over the years a strong driving force to the need for self-assertion, to show that I was good enough for anything. So here later in life, it has been a positive force. The need to assert themselves is a very strong force in more than me, I think. Used properly, the power to be an asset in life. So I feel it anyway. 1964, I was seven years. Then began my schooling in Nybro which would ends with only a three-year technical education with matriculation at Åkra Rock High School, 1977, and then two years at the vocational school. The way there was passed first through Fagerslätt school and then junior high school in Paradise. My life continues outside Nybro. I had previously signed for military service, assigned to an engineer regiment inp.2 in Eksjo. At this time I had been thinking about a career in the military. Had much to my disappointing failure of a test to become a fighter pilot. The idea of being military, fighter pilot or, failing any other in the military, think I had grown up together with my work with the image of my father. In a newspaper interview, which I will return, I said that it began to take concrete form when, in 1965 I went with my older brothers and saw a James Bond film, my first. 1978 to 1980 I worked for a time at the company Eastern Vulk of Kalmar, for the next year begin another training, this time to the excavator Växjö. However, I contented myself not to do so. Although I in 1981 reached the ripe old age of 24 years, I decided to find a place at the 4-year mechanical engineering education at Lars Kagg high school in Kalmar. I was not sure to get in, but fate goddess stood on my side. At the last moment before the start of term received a cancellation from one has already been adopted. Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised when one day I got a call from the school, who told me that I could start. I went out away from 1985. Quite immediately after I bought my current bildelsföretag the Emmaboda Road in Nybro. Now began a new chapter in my life. A chapter that was the beginning of my now twenty year journey to identity as Sweden's James Bond. Tennis - an entrance During the formative years I focused hard on making a career as a player, Judges and coaches in the white sport that they call tennis. Personally I think I was pretty successful in my efforts in this area. Relatively early in life, I thought, as surely many other boys and girls for that matter, from basic conditions, that tennis could be a way to get up in the community. Bjorn Borg was a contemporary example on such a brilliant career. And one way to assert themselves and show that was good enough for anything. I felt that I had written earlier in the book, a strong operational to do so. Sometimes I have been asked about the focus on tennis was also a step on the way to my identity as James Bond. And my response has then been the idea was, to my contacts within the Swedish tennis would open roads for me in one way or the other. Through contacts with leading Figures in Swedish tennis, which belongs to the cream of Swedish industry, I hoped to at least tips and ideas on how my project should be develop as a business idea. A second thought was that as a tennis player by decent class through tennis meet directors and actors in the film world, mainly those related to films about James Bond. Before I go any further with the story of my tennis betting, I can say, that I also have a background in golf. 1971, Mexico in Nybro by Nybro Golf Club. I'm a few years and was among another member of the Youth Committee. My handicap is the time of writing 36th Peter Wallenberg To some extent, I think I managed it. I started in Nybro IF tennis club in 1971 and had as a coach a person whose name was Henry Carlsson. I wanted to learn as quickly as possible. I called often to him, pestered and asked to practice against him. 1973 I was elected to Nybro IF's tennis club. His career continued. The next step was training the trainer. I have passed all stages in Sweden as a tennis coach. There are six steps where the second former Davis Cup captain Carl Axel Hageskog was instructor along with Bjorn Waxegård and Peo Lorentzi in Småland Tennis Association. Even today there are skills and dreams to train a new Swedish tennis star, who can take Sweden back to the peak in the 80's glory days with Mats Wilander and Stefan Edberg. 1985 I became a licensed Swedish national judges. Got soon issue if I wanted to be in Småland Tennis Association. I wanted and at the the way it still is. I was elected to Nybro IF's tennis club 1973rd 1982, I was involved in the Swedish Tennis Association's annual meeting. There I met including the Swedish Tennis Association's honorary chairman Peter Wallenberg, who I played against double. I felt that he was a very nice man. With him I talked a lot about my Bond Projects, and he thought my idea was interesting.
