Pete Lindfors | 96

Pete Lindfors is a native San Franciscan. Also of Finnish heritage, he spent time visiting family there as a child and spoke Finnish. As a practicing lawyer he ended up often serving the Scandinavian community in the city. He served as the Honorary Consul General of Finland for a time in the 50s and 60s, and that was a period of his life he looks back on fondly. Where he lives he can see the Bay and the commercial and recreational activities, and he has wonderful memories of sailing there with his wife.
