Donald K. Olson

When having summers off from grad school, working the night shift at Hamm´s brewery, Don would stop by for a midnight horseshoe game by car headlights at brother, Mel´s, home. The neighbors must have slept through it, they didn´t call the cops. Don was the youngest brother, so the story goes, he was sat down into a little red wagon, and pushed down a hill so his big brothers could practice their calf-roping, much to Don´s chagrin.

My condolences to Mr Olson´s family. I will always remember Mr. Olson as a remarkable teacher at Central High School. He made a point to talk to me about my education and offer guidance. I have never forgotten that day. I wish I had taken the time to tell him.

My condolences to friends and family of Don. He was an intelligent and humble man. He always spoke well of his friends and family. Thank you, Don, for your service to our country.

My condolences to the Olson family. Hugs. Mr. Olson was my physics teacher at Central. I am truly grateful he was teacher. I can only imagine the amount of students he positively impacted but sharing my story because it was meaningful and long lasting. In high school, I loved math and science but he brought physics to LIFE! Because of him, It´s one of those few classes that taught me perspective that carried on...still today. My kids laugh when I say, it´s physics! And I´d love...
