Hopefully someone out there can enlighten me regarding other famous Finns. Jean Sebelius, I guess we all know about, but if you want to know more, just type "Sebelius" into Google search and all you have ever wanted to know, but have been afraid to ask........comes up. Quite a few interesting websites there. Personally, I love his music and always have, so if anyone has anything to add to the websites about the man himelf, I would be interested to hear. Another famous Finn (sorry, many apologies to all Patriotic Finns and I am sure I am committing a serious sin here in admitting I have forgotten his name) was an athlete (runner?) with a name starting with Pa..... Was it Paavi, Paarvi, Parvi? I have tried all those names on a Google search, but nothing has been forthcoming. All I can remember was that he had something to do with the Helsinki Olympic Games - or am I even way off beam there??
I am sure that Finland/Sweden has many other famous folk that they would like to share with the rest of us. Even if they are only famous within Finland, don`t keep them to yourselves. Over to you....... Hopefully, a very Loooong thread coming up here!!
