PUBLICATIONS, ARTICLES, SPEECHES
Main Pages
Most of the articles I have written have been for Norwegian Heritage organizations. Many have been submitted for newsletters and publications of these organizations.
Presentations, publications, and speeches given over the years have been focused on the country of Norway, Norwegian heritage or travel to various destinations in the world. Video "productions", although hundreds of hours in creation, have been amateur travelogues.
