Chauffeur-Lynn Goldberg
Sorry it has taken so long to post this weeks blob, but we are running out of fumes!
Monday May 17th- We woke up this morning to the news that Oklahoma City had been hit by an enormous hail storm, the size of grapefruits. Amy Scott and I unfortunately received some roof and window damage. I hope the rest of you in Oklahoma City were not hit too badly. This mornings program began with a short walk from Suomalainen Klubi to City Hall where Matti Korpinen was gracious enough to accompany us. Our program speaker was Esko Karra, M.D. who spoke to us regarding combination plans for social and health organizations with in the Pori area. We enjoyed his presentation and respected his honesty when asked questions on Finland's health care system. ( I will not go into detail, but it sounded similar to some of the current issues we are facing in the U.S.).
After our presentation at RC Telja we all scattered to our afternoon programs. Lynn and I departed from Finnish club in style driven by Matti Korpinen in his 1964 Silver Cloud 3 Rolls Royce to Polartherm Oy, Luvia. We met the president of the company and were given a presentation and tour of the facilities. After our visit Lynn was fortunate enough to be able to drive us back to Pori, Matti sat up front of course. Lynn was a safe driver-see picture.
When we returned to Pori, I had the pleasure to meet with Ragna Valli, D.C. We chatted over coffee about the history of chiropractic in Finland and how she faught to practice here over 30 years ago. Dr. Valli presented to me with a book on the history of chiropractic in europe and demonstrated some of her treatment techinques. I was honored to have spent time with her, she is certainly a pioneer in the chiropractic profession-see pictures.
After our programs we all returned home to our last night here in Pori. We will miss everyone that has been so gracious here and hope to continue meeting more wonderful people on our journeys ahead.
