Family History

Helvi Remembers
Helvi Riippa (Lofback) is my father's paternal aunt and she wrote these reminiscences about the old days.

John Lofback Proposes
A letter my grandfather John Einard Lofback sent to my grandmother Lempi Marie Tuomis in 1927 proposing marriage. She accepted.

"Leftovers From Father's Lunchpail"
The memoirs of Paul Liminga. While he gathered material for many years, he apparently did not organize and type it until after his retirement in 1980. He finished his work, entitled "Leftovers From Father's Lunchpail," just before his death in 1983.

Paul Liminga Artwork
Uncle Paul was a professional artist. His main work was with the automobile industry and as an editorial cartoonist but he also produced many drawings, paintings and sketches for family members. We have gathered and scanned as many of his works as we can and offer them here for the enjoyment of others.
