Paavo

Eva

After the war had begun I worked as an assistant in a hospital and I met my husband Paavo, who was a farmer.

Eva

Do you know, who introduced us to each other?

Eva

Yes, it was Paavo's brother who introduced us. He was a patient in the hospital, because he was wounded in the war.

Eva

We got married in 1944 and we moved to Paateri. I did wood carving always I could to.

Eva

When we had lived together for 30 years, Paavo gave up our cattle and I started as a full-time wood carver.
