Memories about Perry Olsen

 * Bette Parker Patten wrote in 2006: "Perry Olson spent his adult life in Oakland, Alameda County, California with his wife, Dorothy and children. He passed away September 14, 1972. My Dad did correspond with him on occasion, but I was little at the time and didn't know of the letters."
