MY PARENTS ARE: Ted and Melanie Stocke of Duluth.
MY GRANDPARENTS ARE: Roberta Olson of Lakeville, Minn.; Lil Stocke and Frank Stocke, both of Duluth; and the late Rodney Olson.
MY PARENTS CHOSE THIS NAME BECAUSE: They think Gavin is a beautiful name for a baby boy and a strong name for a man. My middle name is after my dad and my late Grandpa Olson, who would have loved to meet me.
PARENTS' WISH OR ADVICE: Live big and be kind. Know you are loved more than life itself.

SOMETHING SPECIAL: Mom's water broke three weeks early, but both of my grandmas and Auntie Cath were able to make it in time to be in the room when I was born.
