<\/p>\nA huge thank you to Tom and Viebecke Vraalsen, who sent us this wonderful photograph upon completion of Tom\u2019s LifeBook project in July and kindly gave us permission to post about it. We love to hear from our authors once their projects have completed and the books have been circulated among family and friends. As the old adage goes, \u2018a picture speaks a thousand words\u2019. Simply put, this is why we do it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Through The LifeBook\u2122 Autobiography Package, his project having started in January, we interviewed Tom at his home in\u00a0Norway<\/a>\u00a0using an interviewer local to him.<\/p>\n We are proud to have helped produce this book capturing the stories of Tom\u2019s career as a Norwegian foreign minister and with the\u00a0United Nations<\/a>. Tom\u2019s retelling of his humanitarian work with the UN in\u00a0Sudan<\/a>\u00a0is fascinating and it was important to document this in his own words. Tom and Viebecke were a pleasure to work with, both of them providing amendments and corrections through the regular review drafts sent to them to ensure the content was exactly right. Tom\u2019s project was completed with the request that the 17-book print run is shipped to the place of their family gathering, where each grandchild received their own copy. We were given a one-week delivery period, so Tom and the project team made sure everything was completed in time for the books to arrive in his grandchildren\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n Viebecke informed us that one of their grandchildren was asleep when the delivery arrived, so missed the presentation; however, they did receive their copy in due course!<\/p>\n It is an honour to have helped create Tom\u2019s legacy in the form of a beautiful book that will be handed down to future generations to allow them, in turn, to learn a little more about their ancestor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A huge thank you to Tom and Viebecke Vraalsen, who sent us this wonderful photograph upon completion of Tom\u2019s LifeBook project in July and kindly gave us permission to post about it.
