Harry Olson 24 yrs old, Born 8/14/52
xxx

I’ve always been just one of the guys.  Grew up like everyone else.  Mom stayed at home, made good pot roast; and Dad worked for the police force downtown.  Have a little sister Jenny and a little brother Tom.  I always played sports with my Dad, listened to the Nascar and Pony races on the radio, and of course those mystery shows.  In middle school and high school I was the star baseball player and even ran cross country.  I met my wife Nancy in high school and we’ve been together ever since.  After high school, I guess my world just feel apart. 
 +
I’d never had such bad luck in my entire life until I started working at Murphy’s auto shop down on Burnside st.  I knew I liked working with my hands and I’ve always loved cars.  Started fixing stuff with my old man in middle school.  He always liked to fix our family car and I guess I just wanted to be like him.  I was just 18 working at Murphy’s and I didn’t know much, just a grease monkey.  I also would move some other product for extra cash on the weekends.  Coke, speed, or weed; nothing too hard like that black tar stuff.  It wasn’t until 6 months into the job that I got caught along with the whole Murphy’s crew.  I guess he was pretty high up in the Hells Angels gang.  Realizing I wasn’t very deep into this, they gave me a plea bargain after 6 months in jail.  Either stay in jail for 3 more years, or it’s all wiped and I go to Nam. 
 +
Well Nam it was. Served for two and a half years.  After 6 months at basic training, where they found out I’m ambidextrous and good with cars, they recruited me to be on the front lines.  Killing VC's, fixing tanks and jeeps, and driving them to friendly lines was my duty.  And I was good.  One medal of honor, saved countless guys, and barely left with my own life.  Almost died at hand to hand combat with a VC.  While I was being choked out my best friend Dean Southerland came in at the last second and bashed the yellow’s head in.  Now we’ve been friends every since.  When we got home he went on the becoming a police chief and I went back to all I knew; fixing cars. 
 +
I hope someday to own my own shop, have a family some day with Nancy, and raise a family.  But to be honest, things just haven’t been the same since I got back from the war.  I can’t sleep, I just keep hearing bombs going off, seeing young children and their mother’s frying from the napalm.  I’ve hit the bottle harder than I’d like and even gone back to coke to help me wind down.  Sometime I like to blow off steam on the track with my baby, my cherry red Ford Mustang, Stella.

Background

Harry Olson 24 yrs old, Born 8/14/52 I’ve always been just one of the guys. Grew up like everyone else. Mom stayed at home, made good pot roast; and Dad worked for the police force downtown. Have a little sister Jenny and a little brother Tom. I always played sports with my Dad, listened to the Nascar and Pony races on the radio, and of course those mystery shows. In middle school and high school I was the star baseball player and even ran cross country. I met my wife Nancy in high school and we’ve been together ever since. After high school, I guess my world just feel apart. I’d never had such bad luck in my entire life until I started working at Murphy’s auto shop down on Burnside st. I knew I liked working with my hands and I’ve always loved cars. Started fixing stuff with my old man in middle school. He always liked to fix our family car and I guess I just wanted to be like him. I was just 18 working at Murphy’s and I didn’t know much, just a grease monkey. I also would move some other product for extra cash on the weekends. Coke, speed, or weed; nothing too hard like that black tar stuff. It wasn’t until 6 months into the job that I got caught along with the whole Murphy’s crew. I guess he was pretty high up in the Hells Angels gang. Realizing I wasn’t very deep into this, they gave me a plea bargain after 6 months in jail. Either stay in jail for 3 more years, or it’s all wiped and I go to Nam. Well Nam it was. Served for two and a half years. After 6 months at basic training, where they found out I’m ambidextrous and good with cars, they recruited me to be on the front lines. Killing VC's, fixing tanks and jeeps, and driving them to friendly lines was my duty. And I was good. One medal of honor, saved countless guys, and barely left with my own life. Almost died at hand to hand combat with a VC. While I was being choked out my best friend Dean Southerland came in at the last second and bashed the yellow’s head in. Now we’ve been friends every since. When we got home he went on the becoming a police chief and I went back to all I knew; fixing cars. I hope someday to own my own shop, have a family some day with Nancy, and raise a family. But to be honest, things just haven’t been the same since I got back from the war. I can’t sleep, I just keep hearing bombs going off, seeing young children and their mother’s frying from the napalm. I’ve hit the bottle harder than I’d like and even gone back to coke to help me wind down. Sometime I like to blow off steam on the track with my baby, my cherry red Ford Mustang, Stella.
