Aloha`oe...Until We Meet Again

Max and Sarah Olsen
Married February 22, 1927
I have recently been busy compiling the history of my parents to be published in a book. With the help of my brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews we have come up with a wonderful history of their lives and the influence these two humble people have had on the world. Mother wrote her own history up to a point and my sister Louise recorded dad's history on a tape recorder in response to questions. We have their missionary journals, their Patriarichal blessings as well as written memories from their children and grandchildren. We have titled the book "Aloha`oe....Until we meet again" because they met in the mission field in Hawaii in 1924.
We hope to have the book ready for publication for Christmas.

We have a great heritage and we're excited to share their story.

What a wonderful piece of family history this will be. Thanks so much for putting it together. I look forward to reading it and sharing it with my children.

I love the pictures! (That last one especially. I guess I've been sneaking treats every chance I get since I was three years old!)
