has been described elsewhere as the conclu-
sion of 50 years of carrying a piano on your
back. As the evening progressed, pictures
were staged in front of the commemorative
artwork of the famous Falcons hockey
team (a photo gallery and the story on the
Falcons can be accessed by clicking on the
Team Canada icon on www.tomax.com).
So it’s Olympic history. Iceland House, the
Icelandic Olympic Team, the amazing
Utah-Icelanders from Spanish Fork, the
Falcons and Canada's first gold medal in
Olympic history and finally, Canada's gold
medal in hockey.
The following are some words by
Honourary Consul Brent Haymond:
“Well the Olympics are over but the
memories of the events and our friendships
and strengthening of the Icelandic family
will be with us forever. It seemed that
every day got better and for the Canadian
Icelanders it hit a high point at the party for
the Canadian Hockey team. The mural was
outstanding: it truly set the tone for the
events during the Olympics.
The events of the two weeks seemed to
give us a bigger circle of Icelandic friends.
May the force be with us in promoting our
heritage and friendship.”
Sincerely, Brent
Wonderful sentiments. So long from
Salt Lake City.
