Accolades & Comments from Celebration 2007

Wow! Thanks to you guys for the incredible event you once again put together. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We had a blast in San Antonio. My daughter, Allie, said "I felt like I was at home". It was a tremendous experience for us to be surrounded by CI recipients. Can’t wait until the next Celebration in two years in Anaheim. Thanks to all who were there. Allie thanks you too. She will not stop talking about it!

We just got home from the Cochlear Celebration in San Antonio, TX! What an EXPERIENCE!!!!! We met Graeme Clark, the inventor of the cochlear implant, spoke on the first day. What an INSPIRATIONAL story! Then Rod Saunders, the first man to ever be implanted spoke and again what a story!!

We had a wonderful time and I met so many people!

I have been to a lot of conferences in my time and I can say this was, hands down, the best of the best. You were well-organized, the accommodations were exceptional, and the attention to detail was incredible. Usually, my son is fairly bored at these things...but he said he really enjoyed the Teen Scene and being with other cochlear kids. Of course, Sea World was, in his opinion, the epitome of being shown a good time!

Just got back from Celebration--what an experience! Dr. Clark is not only a fascinating man, but also totally charming. He--and his wife took a very personal interest in every one of us at the Celebration--and to hear what he (they) actually went through to create it--amazing!

We also went to the Celebration and had a GREAT time. We're still talking about it today. My son re-acquainted himself with a couple people who went to CID when he was there. We learned a lot and it was well worth our trip.
