Obit in Oregonian, per Find A Grave, says first name was "Olin". More research needed. I recall it was difficult to find out what the "O" stood for but Ole makes more sense for a Norwegian, I believe. Did he Americanize it? Valfontis (talk) 11:18, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
Obit itself and related articles do not give a first name. The death notice (which is what is quoted in Find A Grave) does say Olin. Aboutmovies (talk) 03:12, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
