Honored by:
Mr. Edward O. Erikson

He immigrated in his teens to the USA from Roldal. Norway. He held world’s record for the Ski Jump and was a decorated Combat Infantryman in the First World War. He sought to fly as a fighter pilot but was turned down because he was still a Norwegian Citizen and as you know, only certain people allowed the “privilege”. He paid a very high price because of his love for this country and it ultimately was a fatal kinship.
