HELM
It was 1967 when Patricia Helm interviewed
to be Ole Olsen Sr.'s secretary, and she's been a member of

"Mr. Olsen sent me out for some lunch
after the interview," she recalls now. "When I
came back, he put me to work, and I've been here ever since."
Inside the office, Patricia served 16
years as Ole Olsen Sr.'s secretary (until his death in 1983).
