I sent her this.................

Hello Jourdan,

I saw on the RamsFootballFans.com board that you are writing a story on Aaron Donald & Merlin Olsen for The Athletic.

You stated: “I am writing about Merlin Olsen (Aaron Donald and Olsen both are on our Top 100 series and we are going in-depth on these pieces rather than simply writing a list) and I would like to write about Olsen through the eyes of those who watched him play and the ears of those who heard him speak. Would you be able to make the ask on the forum that anybody who has a fond memory to share, no matter how large or small, no matter if it's football or otherwise, about Merlin Olsen please reach out to me at jrodrigue@theathletic.com? Or if they have parents or grandparents to connect me to if they might have something to share?


May I suggest that you contact Elizabeth Jones. She is a wealth of wonderful stories and information about the Rams in the Olsen and her husband Deacon's era. She would be invaluable in my opinion.


Thank you,

Tim

I gave her Elizabeth's contact information.
