There is a man I'll simply call Norm, who likes to travel and has a grand imagination, the perfect candidate for my project. I've never met him or spoken to him. The magnets are passed to him through middlemen, like my son and the girl who was Norm's assistant. The following are responses after a couple of his travels:
"Your magnets have made it to PALESTINE, ISRAEL, and Sweden! Now, the
stories : )
My boss, Norm, gave the first magnet to a bus driver in Israel
who collects neat things from tourists and places them all over the
front of his bus. Norm said he selected him because he was incredibly
interesting and helpful to he and his wife.
Norm did not set out to go to Palestine, but he somehow managed to make
it over. He gave the other magnet to a shepherd that was guiding his
flock in a field. The shepherd was a member of the Shepherd's Church.
Norm sends his apologies that they did not make it to Egypt. Norm is going to Europe in
June/July and would like to take more magnets. He really enjoyed the
challenge of finding neat people to give them to. He and his wife spend
a month in Italy with her family and then spend the rest of the time
traveling around. I believe they are going to Bosnia, Croatia, and the
surrounding nations.
My assistant gave one to a lovely shop owner in Sweden. The shop owner
placed it on the fridge in her store. The owner wants more information
on your magnets if you would like to provide her with it."
And this from Norm, himself:
"Laura gave me 4, but one broke on the trip.
The one with a cat on it, was given to a German woman who lives north of
Munich, who has a large cat called Puccini (like the musician). Reason
is that they live close to Salzburg Austria, and the lady (and cat I
assume) love the music festival there.
The remaining two I gave to a young lady who lives near San Daniele
Italy (where the famous prosciutto comes from). The young lady had
just (a couple weeks) had twins. Therefore, I gave her two one for each
twin, saying that this way she could tell the twins apart, since the
designs were different."
Later I was told that Norm took some to Australia where he gave one to someone starting a new business. His theme for that giveaway was 'hope'.
