25 years ago, Elder Williams raved about Lajuana’s fantastic Italian cooking and told me all about the Upjohn products Don was selling. He loved his mom and dad and often expressed thanks for them as he bore his testimony. We have talked about the Olinski brothers and for some odd reason, he is obviously happy to be a part of this exclusive group of crazies. His favorite sister met us at the finish line of one of our races years ago. It has been inspiring to feel the love and support his siblings and their families have provided.
I am fortunate to have watched Steve and Mary Ann go through their courtship, engagement and marriage. In all the miles we have run, all the slopes we have skied, all the trips we have taken and all the talks we have had, he has never, ever said anything except how blessed he is to be married to her. He has gloated over Little Willy’s football and Lacrosse skills, boasted of Alexandria ’s brainpower and discussed Chelsie’s suitors with me over the years. No love on earth can compare to a Parent’s love for his children and no parent on earth could love his children more than Steve!
