  BIRTH: Full date and location from information provided by brother, Frederick Anthony (Bolo) Krogh. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH (Written by F. Anthony Krogh): "Born in San Fernando, Trinidad on July 11, 1935. Christen studied at St. Benedict's College, Mount St. Benedict, Trinidad and then started work at Trinidad Leasehold Ltd. (later Texaco) at Pointe-a-Pierre in the accounts department. Later he traveled to London, where he studies insurance and worked with a firm of brokers in the City of London for about 4 years. After he returned to Trinidad, he became manager of the Insurance Department of E.J. Lange & Co. He later became Managing Director of the successor company, Lange Eighty Ltd. "Christen always had hobbies including the rearing of aquarium fish and different species of birds, gardening, and in particular the growing of hibiscus. He is a very good painter and sketcher in ink and pencil. His greatest interests, though, are horses, horse racing, and drama. In London he had taken part-time courses in drama and later acted in and produced numerous stage shows in Trinidad. He is particularly fond of English farces. He also has a very good baritone singing voice and partook in numerous Music Festivals in Trinidad with fair success. His love for and knowledge about race horses and the sport of racing in the West Indies, Europe and North America has earned him a reputation as somewhat of an expert. He owned and bred a number of racehorses, some of which were moderately successful. He was for many years the official timer at the Union Park Race Course, San Fernando. "Christen married Judith Mary Collier (b. September 9, 1941) in Port of Spain on February 8, 1975. They have three children in addition to Judith's son from a first marriage: Dallison Mary Krogh (b. June 18, 1977), Jonathon Christen Krogh (b. February 12, 1979), and Gylla Mary Krogh (b. June 27, 1981)."
