Re: Olli Lounela's tournament report from IGS's early years (1993)

Harry Sigerson <harrysigerson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> writes to Matti and I reply
instead:

Looking at that subject line I've written the man's name as "Olli
Lounella"; which you say is wrong in that, 'title'. Yet you add that I
have it correctly written in the text.

This is funny, since it actually read "Ollie Lounnella". So, an extra E with
double N and L.

I am a Scotsman (or Scotchman which notwithstanding what anyone may
tell you otherwise is just as acceptable) but my surname is probably
Icelandic. Yours at a guess I'd say is Finish? I'd guess Olli's as
Swedish? Why do I think that? It rings a bell in that it sounds like the
name of a Sibelius piece, 'The Swans of Tuanella'? Hang on... wrong, that
should be, 'The Swan of Tuonela' -- anyway, Swedish.

I assume that you are trolling here, since the only famous Swedish composer
made drinking songs :-p

Cheers,
"Antii"

PS. Relevance to go is that Olli used to teach me go a couple of years ago.
