An Olson is the only thing that will ever be an Olson.
Hi, cpabolting

You have the point there. So I actually said I think this is T Drew Heinonen SJ on the introduction. However, Drew' SJ is patterned after Olson SJ with Jim's permission. IMO Honoring his master's name is also appropriate for this specific model. It is the same for the dove inlay with Jim's permission but there is the stipulation that they are credited as "Olson" style doves.
The same principle as Manzer wedge, Laskin bevel we actually have to honor their names for their creation... I think I forgot to put "style" after Olson.
