To those in North Carolina, North Dakota, Minnesota, and for that matter the rest of the country, including Canada, I must report the sad news that Ole was shot. He was up by the Canadian border on his 4-wheeler cutting some trees when some rangers looking for terrorists spotted him. According to the news reports, the rangers shouted to him over a loudspeaker, "Who are you and what are you doing?" Ole shouted back, "OLE..... BIN LOGGIN'!" Ole is survived by his wife Lena and Lena's good friend Lars.
Nah. Mine cut the ties because they[the ties] wanted money. We are talking about 80 years ago. Very practical people, that... I don't have a clue on ancestory on that side.
My mom is related to Martha Washington, and my cousin Mabel was in charge of prohibition in the 1920's. It was the highest position that a woman had held in this country at the time... The boys did not want it, it was unpopular, and she was a famous celebrity lawyer...
