Niilo Koponen's just celebrated his 84th Birthday Party in Fairbanks, AK, where he has been confined to an Alzheimer's Facility for several years. He's an old member of Berkeley UFKB&S Lodge 21. His daughter Heather posted the family website news attached. Koponen is well-known in the National Finnish community and many lodge members, and others, remember visiting him fondly.
Heather keeps a website about recent happenings in the Koponen Family. Check it out!http://koponenalaska.wordpress.com/
