Thanks Chris and thanks Frode - Wonderful to hear good news in January.
Frode - your book is sure to interest many people that use the English
language - that I think. I will ask around and see what might be done. I will
ask the European Institute as well. let us see what happens. I am sure many
others will ask around too. The list from Chris is a powerful set of folk to
do things. Keep pushing Frode - I think that when the Norwegian work is
published in English then many learn much. Before when it was only in the
Norwegian language it was difficult to know and to learn from Norway.
Personally i am very interested in learning more from Norway.
I will also send this to some folk in Canada. They will be interested enough
to check things out too.
Here in Finland we are interested. How might I get a copy of the book?
The web-site idea for scandinavian schools has long been needed. Finland can
help here too. I help where i can.
Thanks again Chris and frode for this happy burst of energy.
best wishes
