OLSON & THOMPSON FAMILY 1946

Jerry Olson reflects on the Olson Reunion held in Plain WA. “Three years ago, seems like the better part of a lifetime when I reflect on the Olson Reunion of 2016.  To see and talk to family members one has not seen in some time, or in some cases, had never met before, is the implicit purpose.  For some kinds of reunions, school class, for example, the focus is primarily in recalling a common past. Family reunions are different because the younger generations are the best part of it.
