Robert Asp\, a Minnesota junior high schoo l guidance counselor\, dreamed of building and sailing a Viking ship to ho nor his Norwegian heritage. His ultimate goal was to sail the vessel all t he way to Norway. When illness prevented him from completing his vision\, his children&mdash\;and the entire town&mdash\;joined together to fulfill his dream. Together they carried out the voyage on the Viking ship named H jemkomst (Homecoming) in his memory. Tom Asp\, Robert&rsquo\;s son\, will share this touching and inspiring story of perseverance\, family\, and com munity spirit&mdash\;a powerful reminder of how dreams can live on through the love and dedication of others.
