Niilo is home on Chena Ridge!
Given a ride home by the crew at Chena Goldstream Fire & Rescue–Thanks so much–Niilo got home Wednesday morning. After a nap, he got himself rolled out to the living room recliner from where he can admire the snowy view.
He was probably eager to get home last night, when he talked with each of his children by telephone, more energized with each call. This was exciting for the kids to hear from Dad, too!
Visitors are welcome but call first please and remember he tires easily. Short visits would probably be enjoyed by him. Right now he’s listening to Ruth MacKenzie’s “Kalevala: Dream of the Salmon Maiden” on CD as 3 of the family sort out the afternoon at the long table in front of the south facing windows.
He’s been eating regular food and we are so happy to have him home.

Niilo, this is the first I’d heard you were in the Hospital. Congrats on your return home. I remember fondly working with you while I was working for Govenor Cowper. Your’s was an office I could go to for good humor, wise counsel and some peace. Take care of yourself my friend. Bob Evans
I’m so glad you are home, Niilo. Even tho this is one of the whitest May 1sts we’ve have had, it is beautiful with the sun brightening up the landscape. Your south windows must be full of warmth. I’m thinking of you and all the years of activism we had together. It sounds like you are getting strong enough for more…..
Love,
MAE
