My grandmothers cousin was big louis Moilanen. She told me stories about him, he had picked up both her and her friend when she was a kid with each hand. It says he lived in Hancock, but he was from on Pontiac road area near Boston location. We went to see their old house when I was a kid, it was falling apart.
He did not live long. It is a genetic condition, I have some of the genes, but I am only six foot one and my shoes are only size fourteen and a half EEEE. My sister had some complications with the genes, I guess it being maternal genes she inherited more problems. The bones in her were huge around and big joints, but she was only about five foot ten and a half inches tall. She died at fourty years old, along with those gene complications came arthritis and a heavy body weight. I did grow almost a foot in one summer when I was fifteen and it worried my parents a little. From five foot one to six foot during school break made it so nobody recognized me when I went to school in the fall. Boy, stretching almost a foot in one summer sure causes a lot of sore muscles. I was glad the growth shut off.
