	Olsen, Elaine Prescott, Arizona US	Elaine & Charles Thompson
	Class of 1945. Elaine Olsen. Elaine Olsen Thompson was a student of human behaviour. She traveled frequently to immerse herself in other cultures. When at home, in Prescott, Arizona, she wrote, painted and hiked in the nearby mountains. A Few Events in My Life: 1926-1928: I was born on a farm in Utah. I remember riding in a horse drawn sleigh to visit relatives in my early years, but I don’t remember the horse and buggy we rode in then. When we bought a truck, I would play at driving it and, therefore, yelled, “HooGa,” to warn people to move out of my way. My life has spanned a terrific amount of technological change, not all of it especially desirable, in my opinion, and I have opinions on just about everything. 1929: Politics have not changed. I already knew what an ineffective president Hoover was in my parents opinion. 1930: I asked my mother for a notebook and pencil because I was going to write a novel. The notebook was a poultry egg-bookkeeping affair with a stubby pencil tied to it with a string. I felt my first conscious remembrance of rage: I didn’t know how to write. 1933–1939: I attended elementary school and claimed I would one day be president of the United States. The only encyclopedias in the school were housed in the waiting room outside the Principal’s office. I was often sent there for my political activities, which my teachers interpreted as misbehavior. I loved being there and having the opportunity to read those wonderful articles about the whole wide world. 1940–1945: I attended a public high school for a time, but was kicked out for leading a demonstration against the history teacher. Most of the teachers in my elementary and high school were embittered “old maids” or farmers who used teaching as a source of extra income. After being expelled, my parents enrolled me at the Brigham Young University High School, an academy designed for teacher interns. I was the only non-Mormon student on campus. I based my refusal to be baptized on my theory that to belong to a religious organization was to limit my variety of beliefs. My parents were busy dealing with the depression and assumed I would change my mind some day. I never did. 1946 and on: I attended and graduated from three universities with different degrees in each but my main interest was psychology. I also fell in love, married and had four children that have always been the pride and joy of my life. You may meet my husband sometimes in the characteristics of certain men in my writing. He died in 1993. Early in my career, I became an advocate for children, especially children who do not fit the expected mold, which, as a child, I did not. I became a consultant in elementary education in the state of Arizona with my major base in Mesa, Arizona. I designed curriculum and workshops to help teachers improve the classroom environment and stop doing the dumb things that the Victorian-leaning teachers did when they were students. We are still a Victorian nation in that punishment is prevalent in our public decisions—SPARE THE ROD AND RUIN THE CHILD. In classrooms where my program was active, scores on standardized tests went up and student attendance approached near perfect because kids loved the new climate they were in and they both appreciated the respect they received and they, in turn, treated others with respect, something that not even our legislators are able to do. When I retired from education, a friend of mine had opened a publishing business and told me that if I wrote a novel he would publish it. Well, I thought, it was about time I wrote that novel that I planned on back when I was four years old. Of course, it took me a while to learn how to write novels and my friend’s publishing business went broke before I produced one, but here I am and I hope you like my novel — Among These Shadows. I have another novel coming up, Moving Under Fury. ~~ Elaine Olsen Thompson ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Elaine Olsen Thompson, 81, accomplished author and artist passed away on November 19, 2007. Elaine's indomitable spirit allowed her to complete and publish three books (Among These Shadows, Moving Under Fury and When the Sun Touches Me) while fighting ovarian cancer. Her books are available online and through the Prescott Public Library. She was born on November 10, 1926 in Provo, Utah to William Alfred Olsen and Christina Marie Anderson Olsen. She graduated from B.Y. High School in 1945. She received her B.S. degree in Psychology from B.Y.U. and went on to receive a Masters degree in Child Counseling from A.S.U and did doctoral studies at the University of Oregon. Her first book, Sparky, was used in the Mesa Public Schools (where she worked for many years) to teach elementary students about their feelings. She lived in Arizona since 1959; first in Mesa and then for the past eleven years she lived in Prescott. Her husband Charles Davies Thompson predeceased her. Her surviving family includes her sister Marie Olsen Davies of Provo, Utah; her four children Tommy James Thompson, Elizabeth Marie Fortin, Suzanne Elaine Diggins and Charles William Thompson; and her three grandchildren Tawny Clark, Shawn Diggins and Buck Thompson. Her family will hold her memorial service privately. [Provo Daily Herald, November 25, 2007.]

	Class of 1974. John Olsen. John Olsen is deceased, according to a Provo High School website. ~ ~ ~ ~ IS THIS? John Reed Olsen, age 42, passed away at home on July 24, 1999, surrounded by his loving family, following a valiant battle with cancer. John was raised and attended schools in the Provo area. From 1976-1978, he served in the Venezuela Caracus Mission. Following his mission, he received his bachelors degree in accounting from the University of Utah. On June 18, 1982, he married his eternal companion and best friend, Bonnie Sue Muir in the Seattle LDS Temple. For a short time, John worked as an EMT at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center and Cottonwood Hospital, then as a medical assistant with Dr. Russell Sorensen's office, where the patients and his co-workers loved him. He began a new chapter in his life as a CPA, when he became one of the founding partners of the firm of Call, Hartle and Olsen. John was very active in the Bonneville Chapter of the Kiwanis Club, holding all positions locally and internationally, including Lieutenant Governor for the Utah-Idaho District. As an active member of the LDS Church, John served faithfully in various positions, most recently as a member of the bishopric of the Jordan Meadows Ward. His true understanding of and love for the gospel of Jesus Christ was evidenced by the life he lived. Though this was of utmost importance in John's life, his greatest joy came from being a husband and father. He was completely devoted to Bonnie and their daughters, Briana and Katelyn.
