About Wäinö Mathias Kemp

When Vaino was an old man he quit smoking after 50 years. He smoked unfiltered Camels all his life and I bet he could have used one when we burned the sauna down. This was at Ray's house in Mill Valley circa 1970. We asked Vaino the next morning if the fire engines had disturbed him, then walked out to the garage to inspect the damage. Luckily the fire, which started because so many of us young people overheated the sauna, only damaged one wall. Vaino shook his head and walked back in the house, probably blaming Ray for not being there.

I still have Vainos doll of a Finnish woodsman, complete with pack and axe. The leather is getting old and worn - I am going to find a person who repairs dolls and make it whole. The woodsman needs a shave and looks as tough as Vaino.
