J. Loikkanen. Urho Kekkonen's sauna friend. I Helsinki valokuvaaja


Amazing to meet a person, Jouko Loikkanen, who was one of the 'big guys' of finnish history and who joined Urho Kekkonen, one of Finland's previous presidents, for sauna every Saturday night. No women, no liquer, just talking politics or whatever guys talk when in sauna. The priviledge of washing Urho Kekkonen's back was something no ordinary guy got to do.

So too lucky to meet him :).
