Nora, Chris & Heather
Nora Margaret Olsen
2. How old will you be on your next birthday-include the date if you want?
I'll turn 31 on July 3rd. I found turning 30 very liberating.
3. Tell us a little about your childhood.
I grew up the daugher of "semi-hippies" near Berkeley, CA. My childhood was fairly normal, I guess-school, fights with younger brother, Girl Scouts, camp, church, etc. We always had a dog or two, plus a variety of hamsters, guinea pigs, etc. I grew up with lots of cousins and we always had a blast-in fact, we still do.
4. Are you married, have children?
My husband Chris and I have been married for 3 1/2 years and we have one daughter, Heather, 14 months. We also have another "baby" our Golden Retriever, Happi
5. What do you wanna be when you grow up?
a mom:)
6. What really annoys you the most?
When people use bad judgement, tardiness.
7. Who are your fave characters and why?
Cody, Lou, and Emma. Cody because of his zest for life, plus the fact that I'm a sucker for men with long blonde hair:); Lou because of her determination and spunk; Emma because of how she cared for the boys and also the fact that she was able to remain strong through life's hardships.
8. When did you find the TYR sites on the web and start visiting them regularly?
I went to visit a friend in Chicago who worked in computers. (well, he worked for Arthur Anderson but doesn't really want that revealed-lol). It was in 97 but I didn't really know much about the 'net back then. He showed me how to use it and TYR was the first thing I looked up. There weren't many sites back then, but I was completely floored and impressed. There was no stopping me after that-I had to get connected!!
9. Who was the first person that you had contact with from TYR land?
Well, the first person I had face-to-face contact with was Cass when she picked us up at the Tucson Airport a couple years ago for the reunion. I have regular contact with Michelle (Chellebelle) and Lori O.
10. Do you have a site or share a site with someone?
No, I'm afraid if I tried to do much with computers I'd shut down the whole information superhighway:)
11. If you could be one character from the show(guest stars included)who would it be?
I'd want to be Lou-surrounded by all those good looking men!
12. Which ep is your fave and least fave and why?
Hmm..that'a toughie, probably a tie between "The Kid" "Decoy" and "Requiem for a Hero" (which is a Cody ep. by the way). I don't really have a least favorite.
13. If you could meet one person-dead or alive-who would that be and why?
I'd like to have met one of my great-grandparents who emmigrated from Norway and heard first-hand about being a pioneer.
14. If you had five minutes on national TV to discuss any subject-what would it be and why?
The importance letting children have time to be children because it seems like we're trying to make them into little adults with their structured lives.
