Just attached the news article from TELETICA announcing my OTHER birthday ...

The first "Canopy Tour" in the world is 20 this year.

Santa Elena de Monteverde was where all the experimentation was done developing my first patent. With the help of many of the young people of the zone ... too numerous to mention... who are all middle aged now... we tinkered and tried new things made mistakes and took our spills... working on proving the concept that virtually EVERYBODY in the zone was convinced would never work... WEll... We DID figure it out... WE DID make it work ...

And now Monteverde/Sta. Elena Costa Rica, the birthplace of what goes by MANY generic names now...AROUND THE WORLD>>>

Tirolesa... Sky trek ... Zip lining... is being recognized as the birthplace of this HUGELY POPULAR ACTIVITY and the honest and dedicated pioneers of this activity are getting their recognition.

CHEERS!!

El canopy original estuvo por muchos años en manos de un canadiense, pero ahora esta empresa es manejada por dos hermanos y un amigo, quienes pasaron

The Original WIPO patent was done in Europe where I applied as Darren William Hreniuk Mitchell... When this was issued Last week...... and they " 'merican-ated" ... my name..They dropped the only important one... that is being changed... but does not change the fact that this patent was issued ... to me>>> :D YEY!!!
