This book actually belonged to my late grandfather. My grandfather's grandfather or my great-great-grandfather bought this book when they were walking in a flea market, either in the late 1960s or early 1970s. My grandfather himself told me this.

☆Once upon a time, there was a kind factory owner who employed ten men to build a garden in the 1930s instead of laying them off.☆
He was Sixtus Syrjänen and here are photoes of his "garden" nearly 100 years later. Today from Tampere. ☆

"In the 1980s, Tracy Edwards dreamed of racing a sailboat around the world. But at the time, open ocean sailboat racing was a male-dominated sport. She was only able to sign on as a cook for an all-male team in the 1985-86 Whitbread Round the World Race, a grueling 33,000 mile endeavor."
