I am alone here going through my old photos and letters, most of them from 1970, and I have not even touched them there after. I didn´t remember that I have had advertisements in some papers in Finland, Sweden and Germany, looking for friends (that is, girlfriends). I had had quite a success, tens of letters from girls in Germany and Sweden, and over 100 from Finland. It is a strage feeling reading these letters and trying to guess, have I answered that letter, have I met her. I remember answering only a few and meeting only some of the girls. Some of the letters were so inviting that I had a desire to write to them, but I wonder what they would say if they get a letter after 44 years from a guy they don´t know. And I wonder if any of them live anymore in their old addresses, and if they are or were married their surnames have surely changed.
So I think it is better to leave the memories be memories!
