Looks like New Ipswich had (and has) a lot of good people, also very talented and industrious. I saw my uncle Oliver listed. His hobby in retirement was repairing old chairs (his first job was building chairs in Fitchburg. He also played the accordion at family reunions. I also knew some of the people listed. My father died on Jan 1, 1993 (while celebrating New Year's) so Patricia did not get to interview him. David Kangas and my son served in the army together, David was a nurse and my son, a physician were both stationed at Madigan in Washington state. It's interesting to see how some names were changed, probably because many Finnish names were tongue twisters.
Yeah, I said this before, New Ipswich was a great town to be part of.
