Oh No! Let's not start with the Sven and Ole jokes!
This is part is true . . . My dad was named Ole. My best friend's dad was named Sven (spelled Swan!). I had an aunt Lena!

I still remember my dad going over to the lumberyard where my friend's dad worked. My dad said he needed some 2x4s. Mr. Lambert asked my dad how long he needed them. My dad said -- "Oh, for a very long time. I'm building a new outhouse."
