The Legend of Uncle Finn - Part Two

Many of you have sent questions about my new grandson, Finn, and his name sake, Uncle Finn. I have rummaged around in some old storage boxes and found some additional information and pictures of dear Uncle Finn. As I told you before, much of Uncle Finn's life has been lost to history due to his reckless nature. He was a wild guy and not well connected with our family. Had he not been my mother's half brother (see previous posts for more genealogical information), we would have never spoke of him.

Uncle Finn was drawn to open water, open bottles and the wild life. He was truly a man who knew "No Limits." I have posted above some of the pictures I found in the bottom of the Baker/Bower storage box - Please be aware that Uncle Finn was named Finn - The Wild Man- Bower. He is seen dining in his normal formal attire. He loved swimming and the open water. The picture in the upper right was recovered from his camera found after his disappearance attempting to cross Lake Superior in a blizzard. He must have used a early form of a delayed camera timer. The bottom picture was taken with some "up north" natives as Uncle Finn did what he did best - always finding a way to connect with people.
