Heikki was no...Cathy thank you for this post'. Heikki was not only a friend but was my mentor for many years, Your post tells the story of a devoted artist to his craft. So many tears have brought back memories of hard work and lots of fun. When he passed through JFK on his way back from a visit to Finland, he would break up his trip home and spend the night with us. Most people would bring the hostess a gift but Heikki would bring back a Merrimeko shirt for my husband and tucked away was a hammer that he created for me. It is one of my most prized objects. He created a beautiful brooch that my husband gave me for our 25th anniversary. Just a little walk down memory lane with an outstanding craftsman and superb man who gave his all to the metal community.We will all miss his dedication to the use of the English language and to his craft.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07918645142630952127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844452588330367305.post-41539089281566875912010-06-03T19:55:17.165-04:002010-06-03T19:55:17.165-04:00This breaks a little bit off my heart.
