Young men full of life, loved much by their friends and families. They will be dearly missed.

Donn,

You forgot to add one other link that has many beautiful photos. If you go to http://pasty.com/pcam/album20 you will see U.P. beauty in abundance.

Donn de Yampert in my opinion is one of the BIG 3 in da U.P. I don't think I need to list the other 2 photographers.

Thanks you Donn for constantly posting new photos to your album. I think you should think about your own calendar and make it available for purchasing on your site. I think it would be a hit!

Has anyone been seeing Northern Lights or Aurora's of any kind lately? There should be good views this week. It's been raining here in the evening - wonderful for the drought - bad for sky viewing. I hope someone can capture them and put them in a gallery! Toivo should have the best viewing opportunities (on the west coast and far north).

Connie - Colorado
We just came back home from a 2 week vacation at McLain State Park. During that time we had some spectacular views of the northern lights. For 2 nights in a row the colors were just awesome ! I wish I had the right equiptment to take a photo.

Beautiful photo....Reminds me of my mother ROSEMARY E. HAMILTON Kenosha Wisconsin who died at 63 in 1997...way to young!!!...I traveled to Lake Superior that fall to mourn her passing for ahwile....

THANKS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL REMEMBERANCE AND TRIBUTE TO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER LOSSED A LOVED ONE...LAKE SUPERIOR IS A CLOSE TO HEAVEN AS WE CAN GET FOR NOW...

"Mr. Pasty" Viljo (Bill) Lohela went home to be with his Lord last Monday, August 25, 2003. Serving as the pasty maker PAR EXCELLENCE at the Kaleva Cafe in Hancock for many years, he retired from that activity only in his eighties. He was also a great fisherman and world traveler. Bill is greatly missed by many friends and family, but he is now in a far better place "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" The celebration of his life took place at the South Range Apostolic Lutheran Church last Friday, which was followed by a Pasty feast in his honor.

We have a past photograph of Mr. Pasty taken last winter from

I will always remember this photograph well. Both men were very polite but typical of the men waiting on the women shopping at the mall. I am sorry for his passing but will always remember well as you will.


Regards,
Donn

Please add H. Leroy Boothe who passed away last month. He was a Navy veteran of the Korean war and was our friend for over forty years.

Please remember Leo "Doc" Lucchesi in your prayers. "Doc" passed away on August 19th at his home in Hancock.

I think Mr. Pasty was making the pasties back when I worked at the Kaleva with my sister Carol in 1979 and 1980.

Those were awesome pasties! And he's an awesome guy too! Very dedicated!!!

God rest his soul!

Please add Wilho Ylitalo(my beloved uncle). He passed away on the same day as Hubert Wakeham.

My friend Roy Bakkila, one year ago.
