My name is Leo Kohonen.I was educated as a biology and
geography teacher,and thus taught at Launeen Yhteislyseo from
1956 to 1974.In 1974 I took over the job of schools headmaster.
Regardless of the name change to Salinkallion lukio the following
year.I acted as a headmaster until 1991.Sinle 1991 I have enjoyed
my retirement.
I would like to take this opportunity to pass my best
regards to all my former students and collegues. Having attended my
classes,it is suprising that some of my students have become such
lenown experts in their chosen fields. Just a few to mention:
Prof. Veijo Ilmavirta University of Helsinki, prof.Jorma Kirsi USA,
Headmaster Lauri Lajunen university of Oulu, Lahti trade College
headmaster Arvo Ilmavirta, TV-reporter Rauli Virtanen,
Veikko
Neuvonen and Petri Saraste and Jukka Vuorinen, dean of Joensuu
University.
My interests are many fold. How about you?
