Cooper Roland Overn

I WAS BORN: Sept. 24, 2012, in St. Luke’s hospital in Duluth.

MY PARENTS ARE: Josh and Heather Overn of Bar­num.

MY GRANDPARENTS ARE: Bob and Kris Sanvig of Esko and Paul and Cheryl Overn of Little Falls, Minn.

MY GREAT-GRANDPARENTS ARE: Pat Weiland of Esko; Ron and Barb Hammitt of Barnum; and Sherry and Terry Overn of Le Center, Minn.

MY GREAT-GREAT-GRAND-MOTHERS ARE: Helen Hammitt of Barnum; Shirley Overn of St. Peter, Minn.; and Beverly Michalski of Kettle River.

MY PARENTS CHOSE THIS NAME BECAUSE: They couldn’t choose one name and ended up settling on Cooper because it was unique but simple.

PARENTS’ WISH OR ADVICE: Our wish is that you grow up to be a strong and happy individual who helps others and lives every day to the fullest.

SOMETHING SPECIAL: Cooper came into this world two weeks earlier than he was supposed to. He had so many visitors while in the hospital that we had standing room only!
