| STAN KESTI....HE SANG AT MANY WEDDINS AND FUNERALS....HE AND RUTH WERE GOOD FRIENDS OF OURS..(pic from Heidi raisanen who sent it ti Mikko Halonen....Mikko said “we grew up with Pete, Stan and Aabo” A FUNNY STORY ABOUT STAN. IT WAS HIS FIRST TIME TO SING AT A FUNERAL. HE MADE A QUICK STOP OVER, TO ASK WHERE WAS THIS FUNERAL HOME, SO I TOLD HIM. HE LEFT, AND CAME STORMING INTO THE HOUSE AFTER THE FUNERAL, ALL SHOOK UP. HE SAID IN A LOUD VOICE, “ELLEN TOROLA, MAY THE BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS CRAP ALL OVER YOUR BIRTHDAY CAKE,,”. I said, shocked, “WHY?” I SENT HIM TO THE WRONG FUNERAL HOME...IT PROBABLY WAS THE FIRST YEAR WE LIVED IN THE COPPER COUNTRY,SO I MADE A MISTAKE, HE WAS ALMOST LATE FOR THE FUNERAL, AND BEING IT WAS HIS FIRST TIME SINGING, HE WAS REALLY SHOOK UP. OF COURSE I APOLOGIZED (TRYING TO HIDE MY GRIN) |
