Greetings from Minnesota

I'm pleased to be in contact with you FinnShark folks. From what I've been reading on your site, I think Finland would be a good place for me to happily spend my next life. You all seem to be greatly enjoying those 'glass chariots. As it happens, my father's parents emigrated from Karijoki and Isojoki to Minnesota, USA in the early 1900's. I grew up on Minnesota's Iron Range (iron mines) and many of my school mates were also of Finnish descent. I still have relatives in Finland, mostly in the Tampere area.

I've had some contact with a few FinnShark members already and look forward to more in the future. As a young man I owned a few Corvettes but a great deal of time has passed since then. Now we have a C5 convertible in the family and it's wonderful to be back. This July we'll be attending a Corvette rally in Colorado called Vettes on the Rockies. Let me know if any of you might be around these parts.

Best regards,

Roger Haro (mnpoika)
