One day I met [[Balleby Pipes|Kurt Balleby]] and he vas so kind to invite me to visit his workshop. I brought some of my best pipes that I proudly showed to Kurt. Kurt smiled, and told me very politely that it was some of the better pipes he had seen – of “that kind”. He gave me some good advice and I understood that I had a long way to go yet. Filled with new hope and enthusiasm, I went home and continued to work, now with the advice from Kurt in my mind. | One day I met [[Balleby Pipes|Kurt Balleby]] and he vas so kind to invite me to visit his workshop.

After the accident I had to be retrained in order to obtain another career and was helped financially by the local social office. Fortune (and the kindness of [[Balleby Pipes|Kurt Balleby]]) gave it, that Kurt could now train me for one and a half year. Being in his workshop every day I slowly grasped what pipe making was about, and my pipes became better and better day-by-day. | After the accident I had to be retrained in order to obtain another career and was helped financially by the local social office.
