August 4, 2006 – Hard of hearing activities in Canada

The Oshkosh dust is starting to settle and once again; a warm thanks to all the people that has engaged in the WFH during the show. A special thanks to Hans Nilsson with Öst-Flyg/Diamond Scandinavia. We much enjoyed your and Åke’s company and warm treatment throughout the show! Looking forward to next OSH. 

The last couple of days we have been working with a couple of events in Toronto. Ed Braun and his team in GN ReSound Canada arranged a very nice program with activities including speeches and a two HoH school classes visiting. It feels very rewarding to see the enthusiasm these children show when hearing Johan’s story and when they get a chance to sit in the cockpit of the plane.

We also had media covering the event and we went flying with one reporter from a Canadian news channel.

Martin,
I think this is amazing on what you guys are doing. What an experience this must be. (This is Sophie's fiance by the way). I am looking forward to the time we finally get to meet. I have heard many great things about you. I just got back Sweden/Denmark and had an incredible time. Spent a lot of time with your mom and dad in Ugglarp. It went by way too fast (it always does). Good luck in the rest of your quest and I wish you guys a safe journey.

Rgds,
Kurt
