Hi Daniel,
I hope this finds you well.
I have also attached the feedback from the online survey we conducted six weeks after your event. Seven of the nine participants completed this survey and we are delighted with the feedback- the participants gained a great deal from this event.
Thank you again for being part of our 2012 CPE program.
Warm regards

Hello Daniel,
I thought I would drop you a line just to let you know how meeting you early last year in Sydney [Renwick Center,2012] has hooked many O&M instructors and their clients to new way of thinking and shift towards perceptual mobility principles.
Ever since our short day workshop I have organized training days for dozens of O&M Specialists, created a kit of materials as recommended in one of your instructions and made a great use of it in many Vision Australia offices in conjunction with our O&M Specialists.
Many client also embraced the technique and are putting efforts to practice flash sonar skills.
I have just discovered through spevi google groups that you are in Australia again. What is your plan? Where could I check your activities and participate in some of this? Many of my clients would like the opportunity to meet you as well. I am attaching a story of Annie (name disguised) and her journey with flash sonar.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Kind Regards

Dear Daniel,
... It has been an absolute pleasure to join you in your adventures with Cathy. ... I?m sure you have had a detailed report from Cathy following your sessions.
Being able to see what you do when you do it has brought realisation of how important it is to involve local O&Ms when you?re working with clients in various locations. Close relationships will ensure that your mission is carried forward and you might find more feedback coming back to you and other WAFTB coaches.
I am looking forward to liaising with you on other subjects we have talked about, being contacts in Poland and Cameroon.
Kind Regards
