MY GREAT-GRANDPARENTS ARE: Harlan and Patricia Olson, Sally Ostman and John and Nancy Rasmussen, all of Two Harbors, and the late Bill Ostman and Kenny and Violet Olson.

MY PARENTS CHOSE THIS NAME BECAUSE: It was the only boy's name they liked.

PARENTS’ WISH OR ADVICE: We love you very much and hope you will be happy and healthy always.

SOMETHING SPECIAL: After being induced all day and into the evening, we were being sent home because you just didn't want to come out. As son as the medicine was stopped you decided to come...fast! Two-and-a-half pushes and there you were!
