Palle Høybye    autografer - autographs                                              Updated:  15 JAN 2012

J.A.S. Philson finished an email to me on 13 January 2012 in this way:

PS One amusing detail comes to mind.

When I was being interrogated by Palle Hoybye in a little room at the Daugaard Inn.  A respectful knock at the door, revealed a policeman reporting in.

Followed by a word or two exchanged between Palle and the policeman, with Palle giving his accept...

The policeman then produced a scrap of paper and asked me for my autograph!  - and withdrew.

A few minutes later the same thing was repeated, several times.

Eventually one man could not find a piece of paper but, not to be denied the autograph requested that I sign on the edge of his Identity Card!

He quipped that his wife would not know to whom she was married, when he showed it to his wife, that evening!  

I was amazed by the informality on this occasion, knowing Palle Hoybye for whom I have always had the highest admiration.

That was a very personal  insight into the relationship between Palle and his men.
