She commented on how warm the people are in Canada, as well as .the climate. When Satu left Finland it was quite cold and rainy. Satu, who left Brucefield on Monday for Toronto and flies home today. will be looking forward to a rest after all her sightseeing and visiting. She especially enjoyed touring Toronto and one day spent over 10 hours walking through the Science Centre. She sadly admitted that three weeks was just not enough time to see everything. Sato did not have much time to relax in Brucefield either. She and Marilyn went out on the town in Clinton a few nights. toured through Goderich and Seaforth and watched the computers work at the Credit Union. Satu also was able to go to a Canadian wedding with the Taylor family. Back in Finland, Satu and her three little brothers live with, their mother 'and father in what " she refers to as a small town of 40,000. She will just miss her father who will be flying to Canada the day that Satu leaves, to attend the Olympics. . Although Satu and Marilyn live an ocean apart, the girls are connected in more ways than one. Satu's best girlfriend is a pen pal with Marjorie Keys of Clinton. Marilyn was kept very busy during Satu's stay, in- troducing her to many people. "Everyone thinks that Satu is great and so many people want to meet her," Marilyn stated with delight. Both girls enjoyed their visit so much, that Marilyn hopes to take a trip to Finland in the near future. However fun and trivialpen pals seem, they really show a positive step to international friendship.
