Submitted on 2009\/02\/28 at 1:59pm Hi Niilo and family, I am sending this mail from Finland. I was studying in UAF for a short period in 1995. When I was there I found Niilo\u2019s sauna through Carl and Erika Cowans. They were students who had rented your cabin at your home. They told me about you and your sauna, when after I told them that as a Finn I was missing sauna.<\/p>\n
One dark winter evening on Sunday, I skied to your home ( as poor student), hesitatingly knocked the door, without knowing who will open and is this the right house. You Niilo opened the door and I introduce myself in poor English and after also in Finnish and you answered we in Finnish and welcommed me to your home. I never forget that hospitality. After that I visited your sauna there every Sunday unless I left back to Finland. I really enjoyded my discussions with you Niilo and other people I met there. I never forget those evenings I spent at you home.<\/p>\n
As a Finn I really respected that hospitality you have at your home. It is saturday night here and I was again after long time watching an internet and I found this blog. I hope from all my heart that you and your family are doing well. Kaikkea hyv\u00e4\u00e4 Niilo sinulle ja perheelle toivoo Tapio Suomesta. Best regards Tapio Tuominen Helsinki FINLAND<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
