The Sutton Family



The Suttons lived in Finland for two years. Prior to moving to Helsinki, they had studied Finnish in the States for 9 months, 4 hours a day. Their Finnish was impeccable from start. Usually Ango-American pronunciation of any foreign language is horrible, not to mention Finnish which is definitely not the easiest language there is. But David and Shannon excelled.

Their first born, Donovan, was born in Helsinki. After returning to the States, David, an A-10 pilot, served in Afghanistan for some months. Now the family has grown: little Lydia has spent most of her life in New Delhi, India, where the Suttons live today. However, David will start working at the Pentagon soon, so a return to the US is imminent.

Good people, good friends.
