Wonderfuuul news Hege! I love your spirit and dedication - and courage! Congratulations!
I look forward to hearing more on Friday when we have our follow-up meeting from the OST training in May - I/we know that quite a bit of space has been opened by those lovely people.
Hugs

They may not be ship builders, but they are blue collar workers. I remember toward the end of this 2 1/2 day event, one of the network technicians speaking about how moving it was for him to run a breakout session. It was the first time he had ever been entrusted to do something like that.
