Norway Summer 1966
My brother Roger and I were invited my Knight of Bahá’u’lláh Loyce Lawrence to visit her at her pioneering post in the Lofoten Islands, off the coast of Norway above the Arctic Circle. The trip was called the first international Bahá’í youth project by the National Spiritual Assembly of the United States.
Reli Pop in Denmark and Sweden November-December 1971
In late 1971, Reza Reyhani from Austria organized a music group, Reli Pop, that travelled in northern Europe. I came from the States with Linda Fields and Adrian Burns, who both stayed and settled in Europe. The European members were Thomas Spalteholz (now Aiff), Hugo van Haasterd and Eddie Kollaart.
Here are some of the songs of the Reli Pop group (31.14)

New Garden July-August 1972
Youth Conferences in Padua, Italy, and Plön, Germany
In 1972 I was asked by the US National Teaching Committee to organize two music groups to travel around Europe. The groups were called The New Garden North and The New Garden South. We sang at the big youth conferences in Padua, Italy, and Plön, Germany. Right-click here for a list of the New Garden participants (pdf file).
