This is such a fun exercise, Jaakko Estola huffing and puffing.
one hundred years of volleyball hero has just played a triumphant batch of Hassarien training shift at the Helsinki sports hall and sitting huilitauolle the bleachers, while the others start their second.
I heard the only man, this lady team.
Each erävoittoa followed a pleasant routine.
after The hug, Estola muikistelee.
8. December 100 years have been Estola, of course hugs before the game had even started.
– It came as an adjunct! It was mrs. of the invention, which will until this fall. Today, lift your hands already at that stage, when I came to the parquet for that but forget, Estola laugh.
Estola is a volleyball outfit nestor. Next oldest is her 15 years younger.
Jaakko Estola will soon celebrate the one hundredth christmas. Henri kärkkäinen bullet in the neck
Spirited and captivating Estola use flight players of the country twice a week. The number fell from three to two this fall.
– Not at all serious! The benefits of physical activity and socializing brought on by the fun combine. This age is so important to get feet exercise. As long as you get the feet to walk, so long is life.
He told me that it had started a hobby already in the 1950s.
– the flight of the ball was in rehabilitation mode for war invalids. It starts very early. There playing was a hobby-like way.
Estola was in the continuation war I came as head of Krivin station in Karelia. He told war-time accurately, as it would be something like what happened last week. The spirit was to go in January 1943, when an enemy bullet hit the neck.
It came back out and broke on the way to the fourth rib scapula and the spine between. It was a bad time. This will be a lot of blood, Estola said and showing his neck.
the Right lung was filled with blood and pushed the left lung and the heart aside.
the Doctor said the bear hill, that comes wait, where the heart is. Heart was here in the armpit. When the blood was removed, it settled little by little back to your place. Little wrong with that, but it’s not the game and not the life of the mind.
the wounded after the Estola no longer returned to the front.
I Stayed home the troops. I don’t think I voluntarily would no longer be left, as it was a hard place.
Forcibly to the front
originally Estolaa not even qualified for the army.
– as a Kid I had suffered all the bad diseases. Scarlet fever, hard fevers and really bad diphtheria. It left a mark. The length was 182 centimeters and a weight of 64 pounds. Chest girth was terribly thin. The doctor did not have any chance to accept me into the army.
the Fire front was too hard.
– All the guys left it next to. Find a familiar doctor and I said, I now have a man from.
?
I’m the fact pondered even today, Estola granted.
I could have been at home when the war broke out. Of course, when I had miserable days in the attack phase, I lay in the snow and looking at the moon, frost thirty, then come to think of it, that was funny man when he left.
It was instantaneous. I afterwards I never for a moment regretted that I left. Maybe vice versa.
Estola play volleyball still two times a week. Henri kärkkäinen gift in the envelope
Life in the twentieth century the christmas Estola preparing for the experience by giving routine.
Christmas is christmas, but not anymore childlike waiting. Comes solemnly to spend and take the christmas message. I guess it’s a little stop, that thus far has gotten.
from 1954 until Munkkiniemi who lived Estolalle have three children and eight grandchildren. They already have their own children.
– Each of children children need to remember. Although in the thirties already are, its somewhat childish, that grandpa gift, there is expected. Previously it was a terrible burden, when had to go to the toy store around. Now I put notes in the envelope and I wish you a merry christmas, Estola smiles.
Balance
Estolan everyday smooth offspring and volleyball hobby around. War veteran to speak in addition, he still Mauno Koivisto based on management practice. Busy busy busy, and so far so good.
– I’m feeling kind of lonely, 17 years ago, widowed Estola tell.
Just recently Estola has, however, begun to consider volleyball a hobby in a sense. The body does not bend anymore so than the fifties.
– Very close to now is that this hobby has to leave. Balance to falter. There’s got to be careful. Little suffers from it, when there is no longer the same man as 50 years ago.
you need to think about how wise this is. Yes I now try to at least still, Estola inches.
Another thing to deal Estolaa. His license expired in November, and it’ll not be easy.
they made Me do a memory test or something and the doctor test Valley hospital. 2.5 hours of quizzing. It was said that these data cannot yet be granted. The ore then was taken yet the mri of the brain, Estola time still an ongoing process.
– the Applicant sought fault! They can’t believe that guy plays and writes war veterans leaves stuff like now I’m done. It is assumed that when the age is, any failure is a must.
Gratitude
New year Estola hope, above all, health.
It’s not so far given me worries. I am in a good position, even if yes, that will expire. When healthy remains, so life is nice, Estola virkkoo.
I Guess people from time to time, then it stops, one this thank of health. Usually it on their own god will not be remembered as only then, when there is an emergency.
– When wounded, I almost choked. I couldn’t get air before I got to the hospital. The question was asked that did you remember your god. I have to say then, that I don’t come to mind. Tens years after it teased me. I know then, that the field as a bishop was a man who is a sports enthusiasts. I went to Hannu Niskanen created and told, that once upon a time I was dying, and I don’t remember god, “is it a terrible mortal sin?”. It then starts the conversation field with the bishop, and invited her to eventually up the chain. That began a friendship.
you Enter the outgoing Estola still firmly over the network. Henri Kärkkäinen
