Robert 'Tad' Olson:  

WOW! ! ! 37 years gone by. A lot has happened in those 37 years, most all good. After graduation, Life went on as always, only there were no more summers. It was work, work, work, with some play here and there. Parties and drinking, bars after work, boos and girls were the main focus, along with hunting. Decided to stop drinking just before I got married in 1979, had a daughter, 'Lauren Mallissa', born in 1980, I divorced in 1982 and raised Lauren for about a year, until I met Renee' ('77 Harbor grad.), and we were married in nov. of 1983 after her divorce was final.

Been following and seeking Him ever since. Renee' and I have been up and down (many struggles in the early years), but have grown to be best friends and our marriage gets stronger and stronger. Over the years we have enjoyed raising our five children and sharing in many different activities such as 'snow skiing' and 'boarding', fishing, paint-balling, dirt bikes, little league, girls softball, horses, dove hunting, archery, 2 to 3 day Harley trips, etc, etc., the list goes on. FAMILY is important and worth protecting. Now, thanks to Erin and Lauren, and thier husbands, we are now doing many of the same activeties that we did with our children, we are now doing with our five (5) GRANDKIDS, Meilynn, John, Herbie, Hailey, and A...Expand for more
